Perhaps .doc files?? ( in case we want to provide bote text and jpegs in one file)


That's what PDFs are for. This site caters for everyone, not just MS drones!

I point blank refuse to pay hundreds of quit of my hard earned money to view files saved in a proprietary format when there are many fine formats available that are free for all to view!

I do agree with you but just for information there is a free Word viewer available from M$ for people who are free of their evil ;)

I'd also say that there's no need to allow HTML file uploads. Call me paranoid but they can have embedded code into them which could be nasty.[/url]


Hmmm ... the only nasty thing I can think of that you can put into a HTML file is VBS which only buggers up MS drones. My love of Cyber Darwinism makews me not care about that really!

Mind you I'll be nice to the MS drones and will remove the ability to add HTML files so.

The allowed types are:

Text Files
PDF Files
HTML Files
JPEG images
GIF Images

- PDF files for the Adobe drones
- HTML files for the W3C drones
- JPEG files for the Joint Photographic Experts Group drones
- GIF for the LZW compression algorithm (Unisys) drones

That leaves text files.... astrophotography ASCII art anyone? :lol: :lol:
