Test it out!

Ah cool, man

What are we allowed to upload?

[Rasbelin]

Somewhat working and maybe even useful, but it lacks proper navigation links and you can't manage any files right now.

Somewhat working

How do we get rid of a file?

[Rasbelin]

Right, now I'm convinced that the intoduction of the system was premature. I have already uploaded 24,1 MB and the system hasn't prevented me from doing that. So basically I could keep uploading until the Linux disk partition which has Apache and all the files runs out of space. I.e. you have opened a nice backdoor for collapsing Settler.

It's somewhat working if there's no proper navigation links, no file and disk space indicators, no possibility to remove files and you can virtually upload as much as you want, until it chokes. Now that isn't a fully working system.

can we use this to link to the private forums using the [img] tag?

We can't do that now (just tried it), but could that be done in the future?

Well, I hope you don't mind that you now host the shareware mahjong game Kyodai. I don't condemn this feature, but I just point out that it still lacks quite much.
