Hey Kirupa… I just added an attachment to a post. I tried twice… the attachment does not show up.

Hey Iammontoya,  
What is the file extension of the attachment? Also, is the attachment less than 100k in size? I only allow file extensions of gif, jpg, png, txt, zip, bmp, and jpeg. Try zipping the file you are planning on adding; it might work.

Cheers!

it was a zip file, 24.7 k little tiny file. I tried several times, no success. It shows up in the browse button, I select it the same way I’ve done all along… no luck… maybe it is fixed…

no worries.
