Zip file cannot be pasted onto post

Postby TheophiledeViau » Tue Mar 04, 2025 9:40 pm

I'm trying to upload a copy of the QSA/UberGaijin Imgur album to a thread in General Discussion, but it keeps saying it is invalid. I have seen others post zip files in posts before. I've been a longtime reader, and only started posting fairly recently, so I don't know what I am doing wrong. Can someone help me out with this?

I verified that Drawings is one of the forums that allows 'archive' attachments. Archive attachments (at this time) are .zip and .rar.

The easiest way to attach a file to a post is to drag it into the message window.

Oddly enough, I wanted to compress the UberGaijin I collected over the last few days from the forum and the Internet (about 90 files) into a zip file - it does not allow me to attach it. But I've been doing this since android. Maybe there's a dog buried here? I'll try it from my laptop later. And now for another walk and already rar.
