Attaching stuff in pms

  • Hi sorry if this has come up before..

    I'd like to send some people a list of records I'm selling. At the moment it's in Word and I'd liek to attach it as a document if possible.

    Can this be done in private messages? It doesn't seem to contain the normal attchment fields, photos included.

  • Wouldn't it be easier to use your ordinary e-mail? You'd have done it by now...

  • true, but i guess it's more about whether people want use their email addresses though. I don't think everyone opts for it and I don't always want to send it via mine for the normal reasons.

    but on top of that it doesn't work via the forum as far as I can see. the attachment options aren't there.

  • pms is yucky

  • Nursery! Now!

    Is the formatting important in any way?

    If not, just cut and paste into the body of the PM. Ctrl+A in Word, Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V in the PM compose window.

    Then again, the formatting might actually be transferred even so.

  • the formatting's important as it's nicely ordered details of records in columns...

    but this doesn't have to be a specific question, it's quite a good general one too. it would be good to be able to pm someone a message containing attachments if possible.

  • You could always send it as a tab-delimited text file. :)

  • So VB any chance of enabling this somehow? I need to send an attchment to a couple of people at the moment.. would also be good for itineraries etc. at a later date

  • There is no enable button. PM's in vBulletin don't have attachments.

    I'll look to see if someone has a hack for it though, but be warned that as it won't be core vBulletin code I cannot guarantee that attachments remain private. (By this I mean that the attachment system hasn't been designed to be private and so it may be possible to access attachments even though the PM itself isn't accessible.)

  • ah, okay - interesting, thanks..

  • Upload elsewhere and link

  • I'm gonna kick Horatio's arse at *crackwhorepolo™** tomorrow...

  • Lies. That's what you heard on the street.

    Pizzabike dies.
