1464676	2019-10-27 00:57:00	Every time I try to upload a txt, pdf, jpg, file attachment I am told that the file is invalid. This was never a problem before. Same problem using Mint, W7, & W10 in Chrome browser. What am I doing wrong?	mzee (3324)
1464677	2019-10-27 02:37:00	First problem is not enough information. Explain the process, upload to where? and how are you doing it? We know you are trying to upload files in a browser and that's it, not much to go on.	dugimodo (138)

You may find the files are to large. Had that happen before. You cant upload txt or pdf files, just tried (again) and got the invalid file format.	wainuitech (129)

Haven't seen anyone able to post anything but pictures or links. In the past any time such a format is wanted its always worked to upload to some file sharing site and supply a download link. One I been using a while now is Firefox Send, https://send.firefox.com/ (use it to send people files as well in email links) it will allow 1GB files if not signed in or 2.5GB If signed in, the signed in also gives more options.	wainuitech (129)
