Important: New Story Hour archiving method!

[Enkhidu]

Quick question for you, Morrus.

In this thread, you've asked for files in .zip format. You then requested that we use the Meta forum to upload those files if we didn't already have webspace available to upload to the archive.

But the Meta forums won't accept .zip extensions on files...

I'd just upload it is .doc format, but wanted to check with you first...

Well, I can't remote link from Tripod, where I have my free website space, and my file is significantly larger than the 100000 bytes you limit uploads to. Am I SOL under the new system?

OK, I've set the fourms to allow .zip files.

You should be OK now- I just turned off the file size limit.

Thank you so much, Morrus!

Do you know what the lag time is for the upload appearing in the downloads page?

I think I've accomplished it all correctly, but... I'll be happier when I can make sure by seeing it!

Cheers

Yep, it's however long it takes me to see you've done it, check that it's done correctly and then hit the "approve" button.

So just putting up a link TO the story as a web page isn't all right?

Thanks Morrus, I'll upload my file to Meta post haste!

Thanks, it is now there in all its glory! (or should that be gory?)

Cheers

No. It's a file upload/download system, not a links page. The system tries to download whatever you put in there and store it on the EN World server. It can't download a web site.
