View Full Version : [no fix] Attachments & Preview

I have just installed 2.0.3.

I noticed something that may just be my switches, but I'm not sure.

When a user selects an attachment to place in the body of their message (and the local path is in the field on the screen), and then Preview is hit - the attachment does not show in the message and the field below the message box for the attachment is empty (like it didn't carry the value over). My users are not seeing their attachment but then thinking the attachment will happen when they post it, but of course nothing attaches because the value is gone.

However, if an attachment is selected and NOT previewed and just posted, it pastes it into the message fine.

Thoughts?

Verified :) I will move to the bugs forum now.

Nothing we can do about this one I'm afraid. The HTML spec doesn't allow file-uploads to be kept through our 'previewing' process...

We ~could~ implement a sort of fix, but it could very easily result in massive amounts of attachments building up in your temporary folder without being attached to messages...

So in short, there's nothing we can do about it. Sorry.
