No more non-image attachments, links broken

[Oky]

Hi. It seems that since the site update, it is no longer possible to upload any attachment that isn't an image file format and old links to such files no longer work, such as all the LXF files in the Official LEGO sets Made in LDD index for example. Will this be fixed or is this just how EB is now?

Hi Oky,

thanks for the report. As it contains different topics:

 

1. For broken links: I am working on it, to be able to fix this for old links working as before. But I need to take care to not screw up any further breaking anything else - so bare with me here please. :D
2. For LXF files that may have been an unintentional change we made with the upgrade - I may bring it up to the staff if we can configure to be allowed again.

Generally speaking there was a big gap inbetween the updates I applied - so we are sorry if some minor glitches may still be there, but I think we are open minded to hear everybody out to find solutions.

I noticed all the links to forum posts in my signature are now broken. Also, the forum links in the Photography Index topic are also broken. 

I don't know if that's the same broken link issue as above or a separate one, just figured I'd mention it. 

EDIT: To clarify, I think something in the structure of the forum URLs changed, which means all old links from before change are broken. Which is a bit of a bummer. The only fix would be to honor the old style URLs as well as the current style URLs, I'm guessing.
