Approval of Files

Drake · 09-07-2010, 12:44 PM

I have found this forum an invaluable resource and would like to share anything that I have that is of use to the community.

I have some files that I don't see listed (converter info) that I would like to share with the community, and Steve Collins (who is always helpful), suggested that I post this to the files section. Well, I downloaded them in JPG format, and they never got approved, I guess because they were in JPG. So, I thought since I have Word 2007, I did that little easy file change thing that allows you to convert jpg to pdf, which Steve explained in an earlier email was probably the best format.... and the file still has not been approved.

I'm just wondering if I'm doing something wrong, whether the file is unreadable, indeed whether the file even got to whoever approves files.

Is it the policy for whoever is in charge of approving files to give some feedback to a person that submits data sheets that lets the submitter know the status of the file in question; ie, that it must be reformatted or altered in whatever way necessary in order to to be posted. If the material can not be approved then, again, is the person who submits it notified as to why it is unsuitable for posting?

Hi Drake,

With the recent software change, we've been working out some bugs with our processes. We started out by getting notifications or PM's about new files being uploaded, but then that Andy & Janet went to a different method that eliminated those notifications. I've been so busy I just didn't realize there was a file there that hadn't been approved. All of us moderators can approve files, I just don't normally do that because the others seem to get to it before I do. I just got it approved for you though. Thanks for taking the time to scan it!

I don't see your jpeg's on there anywhere, but I don't see why it wouldn't take them. I'll have to do some experimenting.

OK, just tried a test. When I went to click submit for a jpeg, it gave me this error message:

"You may only upload or link to the following extensions: pdf doc"
