What I did was take a safe copy of my draft and then do a binary search, chopping chunks out and re-previewing to find out which bits were "objectionable". I don't know if Mike gets to see a whole copy of the rejects - you could mail him your draft I suppose, but maybe wait a bit for him to respond to the idea!

So I should rework my message?

Please try to post it again. I've disabled the specific rule that was rejecting it.

I tried it again, and it "previewed" ok. So, I'll assume that whatever rejects the preview is the same as for the other actions as well. All was well an the preview worked. (I already reworked my message and replied earlier).

Thanks for looking in to this.

I again got an error 403 trying to post. It was just text, no code.

What are the rules for attaching files in PM? I have noticed the following are not allowed:
.RAR
.ZIP
.TXT

I too have a question about PM's. Recently I tried to send a PM to two recipients but couldn't. Judging from the interface, it looks as though the software is capable of allowing multiple recipients. But apparently there's a maximum number, and that number is presently one.

Is my assumption correct, and is it safe to adjust the limit upward?

thanks,

Jeff

Would it be a good idea? More conversations offline means less value in the forum proper. (Of course, people can drop to email or IRC if they like - we're not trapped in a public space!)

Hmmm, I originally thought the limit was imposed strictly in connection with spamming, but you've raise a valid alternative concern.

Anyone else care to weigh in? Yes it's fairly easy to circumvent the limit. Is that an argument to scrap it as pointless, or an argument to keep it since it's fairly benign? And should our members be encouraged to share their discussions, or should sharing be enforced (albeit weakly)?

cheers

Jeff

I see value in PM in limited cases. For example, one might not want to publicly expose their E-mail address solely to give it to one member—PM is tailor-made for that purpose. As one's E-mail address has to be known before offline communications can occur, a sort of chicken-and-egg scenario erupts if PM is not available. However, I agree with Ed that PMs to a multiple members is counterproductive.

I brought it up because a contributing member brought it to my attention, and I remembered having a similar problem. I forget how I outsmarted the POS server. Maybe I renamed it .x or something....

IMO PMs are very valuable, without having to force this topic or that constantly to the forefront of other topics, when most people wouldn't really even care one way or the other.

So, I ask again, what gives on the attachment rules?

I suspect the risk with attachments is the site being used to distribute dodgy files: what they can be used for is to embed images. So I'd expect image formats to be OK. Not sure why *.txt is banned, but you can use http://gist.github.com or http://pastebin.com for that purpose.
Cheers
Ed

The default configuration of the forum software limits a PM to one recipient. I've changed the setting so you should be able to do it now.

I changed the settings to allow these. I also added some ones I think may be common here like *.asm.
