Hi everybody, During this whole PHP conversion that Renderosity has been going through, I think everybody has noticed that attaching .car or .zip files no longer works in the Carrara forums. Here is a list of currently allowed file extensions: .doc,.xls,.ppt,.pps,.gif,.jpg,.jpeg,.png,.psp,.psd,.mp3,.mp4,.mov,.wmv,.m4a,.m4v (these are maxed out at 200KB) So, you may ask yourself, "Why, just those?" Two reasons: 1) It looks like it's to help protect Renderosity's backside (and consequently us users too) from openly being able to, um, "trade" 3d content files that may have copyright restrictions that are either accidently forgotten or intentionally ignored; and 2) to prevent the uploading of large files that can easily fill up a server's capacity. Just thought you'd like to know. Mark Bremmer Carrara Forum Coordinator
