Why can I not upload native Alibre files?
- Thread starter mrehmus
- Start date
If the fancy new forums could be modified to allow native Alibre files, that would make things nice. I guess it's me, but I get lazy and don't bother downloading zip files to see what folks have questions with. If I can download a native Alibre file and open it right away, that would make me less lazy and more helpful!

Although an allowable file type list would be useful to reiterate this.

Dear Members,
Based on your requests, we've opened up the following extensions for uploads: ad_asm, ad_bom, ad_drw, ad_prt, ad_smp, dwg, dxf, iges, igs, step, stp.
This is in addition to the archive formats (ace, gtar, gz, hlp, rar, tar, zip) and image formats (gif, jpeg, jpg, png, tga, tif).
This should cover the most common scenarios. You may start uploading with these file extensions moving forward.

We're considering opening up the upload abilities, but we want to test the amount of incoming spam with the new version before we do so to be safe. If the new phpbb version has the impact on spam that we are expecting, we will likely be adding this soon.

OT: Why can I not upload native Alibre files?
Thank you for your wise answer Tim. :wink:
We support here in Germany a CAD forum with 75,000 active users.
If we would allow each BOT with a permanent forum search/index, the performance would significantly decrease.
The "crawl-delay" must be adjusted (or be banned)
An example:
user-agent: msnbot
crawl-delay: 120
Tim, I would like to help or share my experience -> No more and no less.

It seems the new Phpbb version of the forums has been quite successful in regards to spam. We've decided to open up the ability to attach files directly to threads in the 'Alibre Design User Group' forum rather than having to use the binaries. The change has already been made, so you should be able to use it now.
Enjoy!
Thank you, Ryan.
BTW, 7z is not included to the allowed file type, as far as I know.
Would you add this?
It compresses very efficiently.
