Issues attaching files to posts
I made repeated attempts to attach a file with a name that had two spaces in it. They failed. When I removed the spaces (making it a slightly less "friendly" file name) it worked. If THAT technicality is a requirement for attaching files, then this pinned post seems like the place where it should be mentioned.
I just had a file attachment removed after posting a reply here: Practical use of row delimiter with textsplit
Immediately thereafter, though, I edited my reply and re-attached the same file (with the same filename consisting of underscores instead of spaces) and it worked.
So, the filename doesn't appear to be the primary issue after all. 😏
Or, in the three days since I first posted my experience, they may have fixed it. From what I understand, it would have been a fairly simple fix. Either way, we know to use underscores.
No, I don't think it's fixed yet, because my file (which was named with underscores instead of spaces) was initially removed from my reply.
It was only after I edited my reply and re-attached the exact same file again that it showed up.
