[Feedback] plain text attachments not acceptable
Why? Multiple binary types are allowed, but not .txt. This is puzzling, and differs from other forums I frequent. I ask to see an OP's Xorg.0.log or bootinfoscript output by attaching, and instructing that the file is too large for pasting into reply, and instead, the poster says it wasn't allowed as attachment, so he pollutes thread anyway by cutting the log into pieces and pasting it into multiple replies. Or, OP pastes random pieces of the log so that the reply is small enough to be accepted. I don't see any sense in the limitation. If the goal is avoiding spammers, why isn't rejecting only in OPs sufficient, allowing n00bs to reply with added additional information as needed and requested.

Looking into it. Not sure why they are disallowed.
In the meantime, archive files are allowed so just ask poster to put it in a zip or tar etc. file.
There's also the board pastebin for text up to 150KB or use an external pastebin service.
