"Downloads" section explanation?

**Kalim** · 06-29-2007, 12:21 AM

I spotted the Downloads section a while ago and uploaded a file that I had lying around, just to check out how it works and it's limitations.

So, can anyone informed explain it's purpose, it's restrictions/limitations and if it's only a test or for full scale forum use now?

Furthermore, what exactly can be uploaded, in which formats and within which size barrier?

Any rules or guidance of usage?

Can a user delete or replace his/her uploaded file?

If software such as what most moderators and staff members have linked in their signature, can be uploaded, then I see no point of the links pointing elsewhere or for us to go link finding around the web when needed, when we have this feature right here.

Thanks.

Koala,

Perhaps I'm dumb, but could you also please explain this to me too?

Kind Regards,

I strongly doubt you're dumb Dave.

Was there no Staff section posting on this matter?

Hi,

That was a rhetorical question.

A staff member will be able to point you to where it was, since I don't have access to those treasure caves.

To Paul and Alex,

Thanks to both of you.
