Uploading files to the website

Uploading files is easy...

It's actually possible to attach files to anything on the website (event, forum topic, etc.). To use that feature, all you need to make sure is that you've registered and that you're logged in.

To upload a file just select "create content" and the type of content you wish to create. On the editing page there's a section named "File attachements", open that, browse to the file you wish to upload and select "Attach". You may attach more than one file to every content type.

Uploading files

For that there are the forum topics. Every new group created has its own forum to discuss things and share information about that group.

From your group page, start a new forum topic in your group's forum, attach as many files as you want, and submit.

Let me know if you run into any trouble.

Uploading .rar or .zip files

Dear Admin,

I get a pop-up saying I cannot upload "zipped" files. Why not?..

Thanks in advance...

File limit size is 3 mega

You will not be able to upload anything bigger than that, although it would usually not time out but actually tell you that.

Server space is limited, I'm afraid.

One more thing - please do not upload copyrighted articles to the site. I don't want to get in trouble. Those, if you must, can be uploaded to other platforms with a link on this site.
