Uploading zip files

  #1  
May 16th, 2008
I tried to upload a *.zip file in this thread (post #28) and it failed. I thought zip files were acceptable.

Hi there AD, I believe it is acceptable to post Zip's. How large is your file?

The administrator may allow you to use the attachment feature of this forum, which gives you the ability to attach files of certain types to your posts. This could be an image, a text document, a zip file etc. There will be a limit to the file size of any attachments you make.

That was taken from a search made in the DaniWeb FAQ for attachments. Sounds like DaniWeb is picking on ya lol Were you ever able to upload a Zip?
