This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/XY.2ADE/629.1 Message Board Post: Hi, The list strips the attachment from the gated post. I can understand that ; unmonitored attachments to a mailing list could contain viruses, etc. and wreck havoc. Still, it's a shame that the 1% spoil it for the 99%. The rules are : "You may only upload GEDCOM files or graphics files. Graphics files will be converted to .JPG or .GIF upon upload. Other files types are not accepted." And you may attach up to 5 files per post. Seems to me GEDCOMs should be traded elsewhere, simply to avoid overloading the servers. And I *quickly* scanned the "Rules", "FAQ" & "Help" but didn't see anything regulating .JPG file size. Does anyone know if there is a file size limit ? I've got a number of photos I'm trying to identify and haven't had much luck at deadfred. This attachment thing seems like a very nice "bells & whistles." Regards, David
