Title: What is "Attachments"?
Post by: Catelf on January 03, 2013, 11:09:25 AM
Sorry if i seem like a noob, but i really don't know.

What can be posted on attachments on this site, and so on?
Links?
A page of my own developed core rules?
More than one page?

I have no idea, really.

Pictures, PDFs, docs, various types of documents (files with extensions like .jpg, .pdf, .docx, etc) that can be attached to your posts. There's a relatively low limit on the size of the docs attached to your posts IIRC, however. It's something like 195 Kb, if memory serves.

Here, as an example, I attach the letter-sized character sheet of AS&SH to this post.

Um, thank you, but i'm not fully clear on this yet, i mean, like this:
Where are those added attachments stored?
Are they stored on this site, or must they be stored elsewhere online first?

Example:
I have this online: http://catelf.webs.com/
However, i also have a variant of the core rules there as a document on my computer.
Would it be possible to add the document on my computer as an attachment?

Yes you could, provided it doesn't exceed the limit of 195 Kb in size. The file is then stored on the site, you click on attach files under the window where you type your post. A window pops up. You browse your files and find the one you want to upload. You click "upload". You wait til its done, then close the pop up window, keep writing your post, then post. It'll be attached on the forum.
