This is a defined limitation. Sometimes people attach whole books in PDF form to an entry, and you don't want to end up 
with hundreds of images cluttering your browser. If you want to see the full document, just load it into your PDF viewer.

Thanks, Stefan (why is this answer down under my name!?)

I couldn't find reference to this in the documentation.  In the case I referred to, I'll have to play with the pdf so that
the six pages I actually want displayed are.

It is occasionally convenient to be able to put the Edit button at the beginning of the line in list view, e.g. when pages are wider than the screen it saves having to scroll across to find it.  Would it be possible to do something similar with the Attachments button?

regards

Steve

I don't understand what you mean. There is only a "Submit" button and a "Choose File" button:

both are pretty close to the beginning of the line (left side).

Hi Stefan and Steve,

Do you mean putting the paperclip icon to the left of the 'Thread display' (such as next to the emoticons and
other stuff we can put in this forum)?

I'd be happy with that if it overwrote the "+" in the threaded, collapsed mode; or
that there was a reserved position for the icon in threaded (any variant), and if no 
attachment, just a blank.  

Or make it something to configure, thus ruining Stefan's weekend and confusing the rest of us ;-)

Regards,

David.

Ahh, now I see what you mean. Well, first you can configure the amount of things to be shown in the threaded display
already via "Thread display". So maybe you can strip down things to have not too long entries. Second, to get to the
attachment you click on the entry, then click on the attachment. So to save you one click, it would cost me a few hours
of work (literally during the weekend). So I'm not very convinced Wink
