Re: Regarding JPDeni upload2--default.cfg In reply to
It is better to save the appropriate files you want people to take a look at as TEXT files, upload them to a publicly accessible directory in your web server, and then post the URLs to the files you want us to look at. The disadvantages of posting complete files in the support forums are as follows:

1) Wastes Gossamer-Thread's disk space and bandwidth.
2) Hard to read scripts via the forum.
3) Increases download time of Threads.
