I just installed Snitz at work and was going to use it in our customer portal app that I wrote.
Aren't file attachments part of the product?
I guess I assumed they were like every other forum product I have used so far.
Then I saw some post about some 5 year old 'mod' that people are using to attach files to posts.
Say it isn't so.
I don't want to have to look for another product.

| There are several mod's available for that: Mike's File Attachment mod, Proeder's File Attachment mod and I don't know if any other. These certainly aren't 5 year old.< |

| The base code is simple by nature intentionally. This makes it easy to add MODs into the code without significant knowledge (though it does help) of ASP and VBScript. The link AnonJr pointed out is a great place to get MODs for Snitz. Many of the ones there include pretty good documentation and shouldn't set you back too long for installation.< |

Are you certain you really want attachments, by the way? Means you have to worry about disk space, viruses, etc. From the users viewpoint just adding a link to the file on their own server is the same experience without eating your server's clock cycles to deliver it. There are plenty of free hosts for files, MSN Groups and flickr for photos, for instance, putfile.com, b3tards for larger binaries, etc. If you wanted to run your own on a separate server it would not interfere with your refresh speed (the app is dead simple, accept an http post with the object, then just return a quick-link to copy and paste [have a look at b3tards for an example of this])
my 2p...anything to spread the load increases performance.< |

Thank you for all your replies.
Yes, Snitz code looks good, and the customer portal I wrote is all ASP/VBScript, so Snitz was a natural choice.
As for attachments, yes, it is a requirement by the 'customer' (product managment dept) for customers to include in their posts. In fact every forum I have installed for customers, attachments have been a requirement.
I am a bit under the gun here, hence my impatience. I will try and be less hasty in my posts.< |

Attachments via 5-yr-old mod?
