Adding DOCX to allowable attachments in forums

[TheOttoman]

I was trying to add a Word Document (DOCX) to one of the forum posts, but was unable to as you do not allow those extensions. Is there any possibility to allow that, or will I need to keep time-travelling back to 2003 and stick with the old .DOC extension?


Thanks in advance.

I believe you can upload jpgs, gifs and txt files. I think it tells you file types allowed when you click upload link.

Yes... it does. You are correct.

One of the file types that is allowed is "DOC", which was the default format that Microsoft Word used 15 years ago. Since then, the default format that Microsoft Word uses is "DOCX", which is more efficient.

I have the ability to upload DOC files. I can't upload DOCX files and I would like to be able to do that, as that is what the rest of the world currently does.

That's funny. I don't see 'doc' when I try to upload.

But yes, .doc is pretty old. Last in Word 2000? I can't even remember anymore.
