   Are their any utilities that users of Strolen would like to see?
   
   Something like AD&D second edition character sheets?
   I remember I made on I was pretty pleased with, I would like to upload it and distribute it freely to any who would use it (and are still playing by second edition rules)
   
   This character sheet was made on Word 97 and therefore is usable for people who have M$ compatible computers with M$ Word 97 or newer.
   
   Can we convince Strolen to allow uploads?
   Will he permit platform dependant uploads?

   I don' have a problem with any of it actually.
   
   And one way I can do that rather quickly would be to add another modification to allow uploading to the forum. It is a big mod which is why I have been avoiding it, but mods are easy all in all and this is a pretty stable release. The next forum upgrade will most likely be a rebuild anyway so I will lose nothing by giving it the upload capability.
   
   If we decide to do this, I would be willing to do almost immediately. I would just create another forum for uploading cool stuff and you could just post the description of the file and upload it. Make a new thread for each upload or make themed threads for multiple...whatever, however you all end up doing it. Not sure if uploading should be enabled in every forum, don't really see a need for it, but it could be done.
   
   "If they come, I will build it." or something like that. Almost the theme of the site in some ways.

   Can you limit the uploads to certain file extensions (e.g. Zip files)?

   Damn, that is a lot of control! I can't believe you haven't added this before now. I always assumed that you were worried about clogging up all you server space.

   I would have to go with, umm, lazy, or didn't feel like it, or maybe didn't really want to.
   
   If I finish my midterm tonight, I will do it after that. Otherwise will hit it this weekend.

   Excellent!
   
   What will the requirements be, if any?

   Going to do it probably today, got the database updated last night to prep it and now I just have a little bit of time to edit all the code I need to change.
   
   It gives a lot of option and I have to keep track of my diskspace so will probably only allow about 20MG for attachments, which should be enough. Will let you help me decide what kind of limitations filewise I will put on it.
   
   I think no executables at least. Allows the quick chance to do a virus check and give everybody a warm fuzzy instead of the small chance of accidently having it run. Any picture types will be allowed but we also need to have a file size limit.
   
   Things I will probably set arbitrarily when I do the setup but any thoughts are always welcome. Not sure what you are expecting to upload.
