How do we put attachement with usefull information

I am not sure if here is the good place to ask this question, but I chose this place because some other traders may be having the same problem and the answer may help them.

The problem is with the attachment of files in any reply.

While most posts I see get the below when they attach any kind of file different that an image:

I get the following:

This is very annoying because persons interested in the file can not know the file size nor how many times it has been viewed.

Moderators, forum users, can you please advise on how to resolve this issue?

Regards,

Hani

As a fellow trader I'll say I don't know the answer. I spent the last 5 minutes trying to get the icon and the file size not to show and I could not. You might want to send smjones a PM with your question.

These next questions sound a little dumb but here goes. Are you using a browser other than IE or Firefox? I've noticed when you have an attachment, (Post), it is not in a separate attached files box under your post like this (sample post). Are you adding the attached files in your text box some how? When you upload an attachment do you use the 'manage attachments' button below? Then do you see the following screens while you look for the file on your computer you want to upload?

I think I figured it out. You use the paper clip to attach the file inside the text box.

If you only use the attachment button below the text box like I showed in my last post you will see the separate attached files box below your post. You can also use the paper clip button to attach a file just don't then add it as part of the text box.

Thank you nvwine for your efforts to resolve the problem!
I was intending to ask someone to show me how he does if I failed to get a solution.

Due to your post, I was able to find the solution for my problem, and now I am able to do both kinf of attachement at will.

Yes I do use another browser, Crazybrowzer, that is based on IE. I find it much less heavy on the system and some feature that is just starting to exist in IE7, and the brower is not the problem.

And it seems too that the file name is neither a problem (thank you Pips_Cruiser for the suggestion)

The way to have an attchement at the end of the post is by just attaching it (Obvious) using either the paper clip or the 'manage attachments' button. Same results. But, do not insert the file in the post! I never thought that I can attach a file without inserting it in the post previously, and this was the problem!

Your welcome.

I also learned something new today. I have used the paper clip to attach images within the text. It never crossed my mind to use the clip to upload files other than images. I did not realize you could put other attachments in the text. To any other readers of the thread, browsers have nothing to do with the whole discussion. I was just throwing out ideas at first.

Hey, just wondering if someone knew if these were valid daily trades at the close of last daily candle. Long AUDNZD and EURGBP. Stochs were above 0 and the AC had just crossed above 0. Also, price is above 200 SMA on both (although barely on AUDNZD).

Technically, it looked like a valid trade, but that is all I know.
