Question Uploading files.

I know I am missing a trick here, but I have been unable to add a text file (Stepcraft profile file) to one of my recent posts.

Pictures are no problem, but adding a text file as an attachment using the "Add File" button doesn't seem to work.

It's probably something stupidly simple, but I haven't managed to fathom it so far!!

Please can someone enlighten the incompetant!!

Not all file extensions are allowed. Unfortunately the Forum will not give a hint to the user if a file is not allowed.
You can try to zip the txt file and upload the zip.

This should work.

a little bit hidden in the menu-bar "forum help/ Forum Hilfe" there is an advice-post for users to help them using the right and compatible file-extensions. In GERMAN-Forum you will find it

here

Maybe it is already translated into english in your forum.

Thanks very much for that hint - annoying that the forum doesn't advise about forbidden extensions. I'll give it a try on this post now I know to disguise the file!



Late Edit

Renaming .pro as a .txt file works!!!

Thanks MrMaJo and alpenkreuzer for your guidance - much appreciated

I've located the data on file restrictions in the German forum - the Google translation is as follows:-

Dear users!
The following restrictions apply when uploading image files:
allowed image formats: jpg, jpeg, gif, tif, bmp, png
allowed image size: max. 250kb
allowable image dimensions max. 1024x768 Px
To zoom out to a big picture, we recommend an image converter. This is available as a free tool in the network, for example, Tinypic, which you can download here: Download Tinypic
The following restrictions apply when uploading other files:
Allowed file formats: DXF, DWG, STL, din, HPGL, PLT, txt, pdf, zip, rar, e25, CDR, xls, doc, WPI WPW, sys, WTI, xlm
allowed file size: max. 2000kb
We hope to have given you with this information an assistance!

Pity this isn't available on the English forum!!!!!!
