If you edit your original post/reply immediately afterwards and reattach the exact same file, does it stick?
File attachments have been removed from my two most recent replies, but editing those replies and reattaching the same files immediately thereafter has worked for me.
If i've started the discussion i don't have a menu where i can choose to edit or delete the original message. The menu is only shown for the answerer.
If i've replied to a discussion then there's a menu where i can edit the message and attach a file. To the discussion below i've replied yesterday and my attached file didn't stick. Today i've edited the message and attached the sample file and it's working for me.
That's interesting. I'm using MS Edge on Windows 11, and I get a gear menu icon in the top-right corner of my screen, which allows me to edit a discussion I started...
Glad to hear the edit worked for you with your reply, although it sounds like it might not be a reliable workaround 100% of the time as mentioned by SnowMan55. So disappointing to see what's become of this forum... it used to be my favorite one.
Thank you! I'm using Edge and Windows 11 as well and i didn't remember the gear menu item that is available for me as well.
I was only looking for the menu (three dots) as it's shown when replying to a discussion.
I've tried attaching a file several times to the discussion i've started but the attachment is removed unfortunately.
EDIT:
I was able to attach a small file ( ~11 KB) to my initial post of this discussion. However this isn't reliable since all other files were deleted. It seems that only small attachments aren't deleted no matter if i reply to a discussion or if i've started the discussion.
Another EDIT:
It seems that .xlsx files with up to 75 MB can be attached and aren't deleted and that all macro-enabled files .xlsm can't be attached from my PC.
