The File Upload Release: Presentations, Sites, Discusssions, Comments
We’ve upgraded or added file-upload features all over the site. You can post presentation files and attachments to talks, add file attachments to discussions, post a file when you leave a comment, and add files to your site in order to help customize it.
Presentation Files
When you go to add or edit a talk, you now have the option to add a single presentation file and any number of attachments. Some people put the presentation and all supporting material into a single .zip file, others are using the extra attachment options to include supporting materials for the session.
We’ve also added a page where attendees can see all of the available presentation files.
Discussion Threads
You’ve long been able to add a single image to a discussion thread. But we’ve also had many requests to be able to add multiple images, or to add different types of files, like podcasts. Now you can add several files of any kind when you start a discussion.
Site Files
In order to customize a site, people often want to be able to upload image files or background gradients. If you need to do that, we’ve added a “Manage uploads” option to your Admin page.
Free for now
We’re launching without upload limits for now. Add as many as you want. However, we will probably add a tiered package system down the road. Also, our terms of use still apply. Sites that generate DMCA take-down notices will get this feature removed and/or have their network removed.
