Website Upgrade Incoming - we're working on a new look (and speed!) standby while we finalise the project

Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Hi!

When I am searching some information, sometimes there are topics with exclusively emails asking for files (manuals/templates/information). If possible, is better to have one of these:

1. A forum that supports attachments, example: vBulletin forum (hard way)

http://www.vbulletin.com/

2. Create another site to storage files, example: yahoo groups (easy way)

http://groups.yahoo.com/

This has another side, the copyrights problem (it’s very hard to control each file shared with the community)

BR,
AF

I would like to second this idea;

Accepting there may be copyright issues, the forum is already used to exchange various files (manuals, presentations, paper etc) so why do we not have a download section for these items so the submitter doesn’t spend the next 6 months emailing whatever it is they have that has generated so much interest.

We could even utilise www.4shared.com or some similar service.
