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.

            <p>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.&nbsp; Would it
be possible to do something similar with the Attachments button?</p>

<p>I don't understand what you mean. There is only a &quot;Submit&quot; button and a &quot;Choose File&quot;
button:</p>
<p><a href="091113_143107/Capture.png?lb=Forum"><img border="0" alt="Capture.png" name="att0" id="att0"
src="091113_143107/Capture.png?lb=Forum&amp;thumb=1" /></a>&nbsp;</p>
<p>both are pretty close to the beginning of the line (left side).</p></td>

Thanks Stefan!

(But I'll wait and see if you do anything about Steve's point...so I'll download "after work"!).

Hi Stefan,

I attached a 12 page (22kB) pdf file - no images - to an entry, but elog only converted the first 8 pages to
images (.png).  This is reproducable, i.e. a different small multipage pdf file produced the same number of images.

The size of the pdf file does not seem to be a problem, a single page pdf file with a lot of images in it
attached as expected.

Is this correct, or a defined limitation?

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.

Hi Stefan,

This has happened twice on this forum now, starting from Mon 23rd November.

Someone submits an entry (Me, 66625, Bertram Metz 66628)
I assume you post a reply (66626, 66629), but it shows up as if I or Bertram are the author of the reply, not
yourself.  My reply to you (66627) was really authored by me, and I expressed puzzlement then at this point.

Is this a bug, or some wierd affect of us forgetting to log out?

Regards,

David.
