PDFs & videos can be useful sometimes in posts and while we would like to make the forum the best it can be, letting users do this just invites trouble. The trouble I am referring to is the dreaded, “computer viruses". Uploading to the forum is the easiest way to introduce viruses. In addition to this videos can take up a large amount of our server space. So if you would like to add a video to your post, have it linked to a url, for instance 'YouTube", then just add the link in the post and users can view it. 

 

PDFs can be linked to a saved file by using the “browse box” located at the bottom of the editor. Just click on browse and locate the PDF on your computer. Once it is selected it will show as an attached file in the post. Make sure to let the users know that the PDF you are referring to in the post can be downloaded to their computer for viewing by clicking on the attached file.
