You can attach files to discussions and posts on this forum.
Discussions:
To add a new discussion you must enter a title and some body text. You have an option of adding a tag to the discussion and can use an existing tag or add a new one. However, you must select a category for your discussion (subscribers to the category will receive a notification). A box will appear below the tags were you can browse to a file that will get uploaded. At this point, you can click the ‘Create discussion’ button.
To attach a second file, you must have first created the discussion and can then select the ‘Attach’ button from the right-hand side when viewing the discussion.
Posts:
Much like attaching a second file to a discussion, you can attach a file to a post after you’ve first added the post. Use the ‘Attach’ button from the right-hand side when viewing the discussion and associated posts.
Files types:
File types that can be attached are jpg, jpeg, png, gif, pdf, zip, txt, and csv.
The Authority assumes no responsibility for files posted by others on the forum. We would encourage you to exercise care when downloading files, and especially when opening zip files.
Images can be embedded in discussions and posts if the image is hosted online somewhere and has a URL. We find jpeg images constrained to a width of 700 pixels work great. We use style 'heading 4' for the figure titles.
