How about support for .dmp attachments? just thought it would be practical for attaching WinUAE's crash dumps right away.

Cheers.

I would like to add the support for 7Zip (.7z) and WinRAR (.rar) files. WinZip doesn't compress enough and so attachment are bigger then they need to be.

Just had a look and 7Zip is also supported on the Amiga : http://amiga.sourceforge.net/

Keep in mind that vBulletin doesn't care for the actual format of the attachment, all it takes into account is the extension so you may just rename your .7z or.rar to .zip and it will upload.

Also, support for the .uae extension wouldn't kill anyone either

Yeah I know, but some people will think the archive is broken because it won't open with WinZip. Also don't want to force people to rename the archive and to point it out in every post

.
btw : 7Zip is for free and at least as good as WinRar, did you know

<- shameless promotion here
