Using links instead of attaching files
Posted: Sat Dec 29, 2012 10:53 am
I am thinking it would be better to use links to files uploaded at (and shared to public of course) Google Drive (or Dropbox, etc.) instead of uploading them to the forum. A few reasons for that:
1) It'll be easier to fix the currently broken attachments of some important forum topics
2) Files will be still there intact if anything happens again (let's hope it doesn't) to the forum or hosting
3) Less load to the hosting / forum so better performance and responsiveness in result.
...
Tell me what you think. If all agree, we might disable uploading of attachments altogehter.
