NEW UPDATE : Attachments and global announcements! |
|
Hello, In order to continuously improve our services and to bring you the best in the world of forums, we offer you today a new update that will add two brand new features. 
Without making you wait longer, here are the contents of this update: 1. Global announcement: Indeed, in addition to the normal post,post-it and stickies, now you can make global announcements in your forum. Unlike a normal post, the overall listing is automatically applied in all the forums in your forum in one go! A real time saver for admins 
As for the normal post, the wording of the overall text is customizable via the admin panel. 
This gives on your forum: 
You will find all the explanations needed on this new feature in THIS TUTORIAL! 2. Attachments: An innovative feature that allows you to attach files to messages on a topic of your forum. The forum admin has the option to enable or disable attachments on the forum and the distribution of storage space between the attachments and gallery on the one hand, and between members and moderators of the forum on another hand. Many extensions are supported and total management is possible directly via the admin panel, transforming the forums in real trade platforms for the happiness of its members. 
On the forum, it gives:
You will find all the explanations needed on this new feature in THIS TUTORIAL!
Finally, A big THANK YOU to the entire Forumotion community for all those brilliant ideas! : thumleft: See you soon with other ideas! Best, Forumotion Team |

wow.. this is what im waiting for.. so where is it hosted? and do we have a limit for file attachments? and do we have access to all the attachments as admins? thanks for this..
3 Leeloo, on 25/03/2010 at 10h55
It is hosted by us. You can see all information in the tutorial :
/frequently-asked-questions-f5/attachments-t66572.htm
/frequently-asked-questions-f5/attachments-t66572.htm
4 komiks0916, on 25/03/2010 at 11h03
so how big is the allotted space for the whole forum? is it like the SERVIMG? or is it limited like the gallery?
5 Leeloo, on 25/03/2010 at 11h04
By default, you have 20 Mb to share between gallery and attachments.
6 komiks0916, on 25/03/2010 at 11h07
i thought so.. how i wish it was like the servimg hosting.. 
7 identityproof, on 25/03/2010 at 12h01
hey Typlo, i cant seem to attach files! I edited all the settings already. But i dont know how to attach.
8 komiks0916, on 25/03/2010 at 12h36
i can now access it.. is there a way to make the allotted 20mb more bigger? any way for credits to be bought without using credit cards? i dont have a credit card..
9 Russel, on 25/03/2010 at 12h45
Avatar has gone! why?
also, i cant attach
also, i cant attach
10 Codyy, on 25/03/2010 at 13h27
I do like the Global announcement thing as this will make things SO much easier. However, the attachment should be allowed to host off an external host. Like mega-upload. Because 20$ for 500 megs is NOT alot of space for alot of cash.
11 komiks0916, on 25/03/2010 at 13h47
Try fileden.com.. Its free and hosts a bigger size.. 1gig storage..
12 Milunice259, on 25/03/2010 at 14h29
I can't see attach file in my editor.Why????
13 --kml--, on 25/03/2010 at 14h38
OMG THX FORUMOTION xD
i wonder if there are limits? i meant like if we upload lots of file , by different users , will there be limit for all the size alltogether?

Our avatar button has completely vanished for all members. I read thru the tutorial and there is a notification saying if we have personalized templates go "here" and "here" to edit our templates, but there is NO LINK.
We also cannot attach anything. We just want our avatar button back....really, that's all...
thank you...
