How do I add a file?

Post by Pev »

How do I go about adding a 'wmv' file to the message body. The paste function is greyed out if I copy the file and try to paste it in the text box
Thanks

Hi Pev,

You can't directly attach a file to a message. What you must do instead is use a URL to point to where the file is hosted out there in the internet.

Cheers,

You really need only two tools: WD-40 and duct tape. If it doesn't move and it should, use WD-40. If it moves and shouldn't, use the tape.

Pev,

You need to find somewhere on the internet to host it. Does your ISP supply you with any webspace you could use? What sort of file is it? If it's a picture, you could host it on a site such as imagecave. If you don't have anywhere to put it, e-mail it to webmaster@boxertrix.com and I'll host it for you.

Cheers,

Paul

Hi Paul,
Thanks for getting back to me. The file is a wmv file - just a small video file. I don't believe my isp offers any webspace but if so I was not aware. I will make enquiries and if not will take up your offer & forward it to you. Thanks
