This makes NO SENSE at all.
The software was evidently designed by someone who had never used
a forum.
I can understand your frustration but:
1. The software is simply an updated version of the previous DPF software - ie designed by the same people. In all it's incarnations, it has the biggest installed base of ANY forum software, which we judged counted for something.
2. The behaviour you report is anomalous. It should NOT be happening.
3. I have raised a tech support ticket with the software providers but don't expect a solution until maybe Tuesday/Wednesday next week after the holiday.
There is a default (and somewhat restricted) list of file upload types allowed. Most of the photo ones appear (to me) to be there but then I'm not an image file techie. It may be that the file type you are trying is not currently on the list. Give me a list of the file extensions you need and I will check immediately. If any are not there I will add them.
I have scanned all the setting I can think of (as a relative newbie to the software) and haven't found anything else - yet.
