Many types of user generated content allow uploaded files to be attached, including forum posts, comments, and project releases. These different types of content all use a similar method for attaching a file.

1. From the content edit page, look for the Attach file section and click on the Browse button.
2. A window will pop up allowing you to select a file from your computer.
3. After selecting the file you wish to upload, click OK and the file will be sent to the server.
4. Once you have filled out the other fields in the form, hit submit to save the changes you made.

Notes:

• Files larger than 9 MB will be rejected by the server.
• The total size of uploaded files is limited to 50 MB per user. Files that are checked into the Subversion repository for a project do not count against this limit.
• If either of these restrictions becomes problematic, please Contact Us.
• Only files with certain extensions may be uploaded. Files with the following extensions are permitted:
  • jpg, jpeg, gif, png: Various image formats
  • txt, html, doc, xls, pdf, ppt, pps, odt, ods, odp: Various document formats
  • pxp, uxp, pxt, uxt, ipf, ihf, ifn, xop, ibw: Various Igor Pro file types
  • zip, dmg: Compressed archive
• If you need to upload a file with an extension that is not accepted, it's best to either compress the file into a .zip or .dmg archive, or you can rename the file in such a way that the original extension is obvious but the new extension is accepted. For example, my_file.exe could be renamed to my_file.exe_.txt. By using this kind of naming convention, anyone who downloads the file will know to rename the file back to my_file.exe before attempting to use the file.
