What filetypes are allowed on these forums?

Post by NotNull »

I had some trouble adding .CMD and .TXT attachments to posts.
The only allowed extensions that I could find thus far are .zip and .png (other image filetypes will probably be allowed too)

Is there a list of file extensions that are allowed on these forums?
And could at least .txt be added to that list? I get it when executable extensions (.exe;.com;,vbs;.ps1;.cmd etc.) are not allowed, but sooner or later the forum markup language messes up one of the inline code scripts (not sure about that, though; it's a guess).

The voidtools forum is using the default phpBB attachment settings.

These settings are:
Max 256 KB limit for each attachment.
Max 3 attachments.

Nothing that I've personally set, looks like the default phpBB settings are blocking these types of files.

I recommend zipping these files up and attaching the zip.

For files like cmd / vbs, I recommend posting the file contents directly in your post.

I'll try to keep my scripts short, then ;-)
