I'm told by a friend who is on vBulletin 3.5.4 that the s/w does not support video file attachments like .mpg, .ram, .wmv, etc

He said "the only valid file extensions are: bmp doc gif jpe jpeg jpg pdf png psd txt zip and are the only supported attachments in threads."

Does anyone know what future version of vBulletin will support video file attachments, or if this is a misnomer, how can one make video file attachments a possibility in vBulletin threads?

The ability to post video file attachments is a hard requirement that I have for deciding which forum s/w I'm gonna be choosing. I am shocked to hear that vBulletin does not natively support video file attachments, but perhaps I am wrong (I hope).

nevermind, looks like my friend didn't read the manual (http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/main/attachment_extensions).

It can support any file you add to vB's attachment options. Might have to noodle with your PHP and Apache settings to accept large files though.

thanks, planning on adjusting the settings so they will attach to my filesystem instead of DB (thank god for that option :) )
