I have a problem with forum attachments, but not like y’all.  Perhaps I should have started a new topic.  In any case, the deal is that I have set the preferences to upload “all” files.  But it still has limits.  I can’t upload avi or rtf files, so far. 

This is the error message:

Error Message:  The filetype you are attempting to upload is not allowed
Allowed Filetypes: psd, pdf, swf, sit, tar, tgz, zip, gzip, bmp, gif, jpeg, jpg, jpe, png, txt, html, doc, docx, xl, xls, mov, qt, mpg, mpeg, mp3, aiff, aif, aac,

Where do I go to add on avi and rtf?  This is ee 1.6.4

Thanks!

Only file types that are specified in ExpressionEngine’s Mime Type file are allowed to be uploaded. If you are uploading something uncommon and run into problems you may need to add the mime type for your file. The MIME Type file can be found at /system/lib/mimes.php.

For a list of mime types, see:

Thanks!  That worked!  Plus, it’s fascinating.

Glad to see you’re all set 😊 Please don’t hesitate to post again as needed.
