I went to attach a file, and noticed there was no attachment icon. The permissions box at the bottom of the page says “You may not post attachments”. I have the attachment option turned on in settings. Am I missing something, or are attachments not allowed now?
I think not all parts of the forum permit it. where were you trying?

We generally haven’t allowed attachments - there are plenty of options
for hosting files and posting screenshots, sites like imagebam (for
example).
What type of attachment do you want to include and where?

I was trying to attach a zip file here http://forums.opensuse.org/english/information-new-users/unreviewed-how-faq/442106-how-fix-k3b-not-playing-notification-sounds.html because the command I had previously posted didn’t work as expected due to vorbis being broken. I figured it would be easier to attach the correct files rather than separate the previous command.

Confirmed, attachments are disabled in that forum.
I’d suggest if the ZIP file is the only way/best way to make the
information available, post it on a file hosting site and link to it.

Thanks for the confirmation. This is the first time I’ve tried to upload an attachment here. Caf4926 has graciously offered to host it for me. I have a 10MB space with my ISP (wildblue) for a personal web page. Maybe I could turn it into a file storage page. Thanks to all.
It is particularly funny that attachments are not allowed for the Screenshots forum. Ouch!
Use a hosting like imagebam
I mean, if attachments are not allowed for screen shots where they obviously belong, why would they be allowed anywhere?
And when attachments are forbidden everywhere, why announce them in forum help?
It is just confusing.
Hello.
Some of your contributors ask me my hardware config.
This is a 32 full pages of ascii texte and about 800Ko. So this can’t be copy and paste inside a thread and attachments are forbidden.
Imagebam is an image hosting, so I think that you can’t upload tar or zip file.
Pastebin is limited to 512 Ko
I found these by googleing.
Have heard about them ?

Do you have any advice?
Is it sufficient to send information gathered by hi/inxi ?
IMHO it actually makes sense. The forum software for attachments is not as good as a hosting site such as Imagebam. Put your screen shots on Imagebam, and then post its forum code to the image in your post. It gives a nice 350x350 or so thumbnail image, that makes the thread viewable. One can click on the Imagebam linked thumbnail for a much larger image. Without that sort of linking, one ends up with a thread of massive images that is impossible to scroll through, and takes forever for the thread to load for those with poor bandwidth Internet connections.
I think using Imagbam (or similar sites) in this case IS better.
If you have not done so, checkout Fast, Free Image Hosting - ImageBam (and as noted, besides Imagebam there are other sites with more efficient ways of posting images than our forum software).
But about text file generated by Hardware information from yast.
Any idea ?
Often all we need to know will come from
/sbin/lspci -nnk
Use this to link us to the info
SUSE Paste
SUSEPaste - How to use it - Blogs - openSUSE Forums
You can also use Smolt, complete your profile there and link us to it
I am still searching a way :
- to upload plain text file
- tar.gz plain text files
Hardware detection file is more than 300Kb and I am not allowed to paste it to paste.opensuse.org

why do you feel you need to make that whole file available to the forum?
has a helper asked you for that entire file?
in what thread…provide URL please…

my point being that i can’t imagine anyone needing all the info in
that file to fix any one problem…
like, if it is a video problem no one needs to have all the info on
all the drives and etc etc etc etc etc…
for example many (most?) video problems need only the output of
/sbin/lspci -v | grep -i display
but, if someone asked for the entire output of (say) YaST’s hardware
detection routine, you might wanna put it in the public area of your
dropbox…

What “the public area of your dropbox” looks like ?
I ask this just in case it would be necessary to add a file whose size is bigger than the size allowed by paste.opensuse.org.
But I can’t imagine what you need
As sample this is given by the command
linux-xodr:~ # /sbin/lspci -v | grep -i display
linux-xodr:~ #

do you have a free account with dropbox?
here is dropbox file available to the universe:
http://tinyurl.com/b856ekd
spideroak has something similar
maybe you have a google account? where you can put some pretty big
files and ‘share’ them, but i’m not sure how you can share them with
earth, as one can with dropbox/spideroak
again, i’ve not yet encountered the problem where i need a 300k
rundown of the hardware…ymmv.

as far as i am concerned, do NOT send or post a 300k text file until
and unless i ask for it…

well, maybe it has changed (my openSUSE is not 12.x), but here i
don’t even need to be root:
