Attaching midi files to messages

[kenja]

Is there a way of adding a midi (or mp3 or other file) to a message or a posting?

the accepted method is to upload your file to an online storage site (4shared, hotlinkfiles, mediafire, file qube, box.net, etc). Once you've uploaded, take note of the file path (direct BB or something like that), and then post a message in Midihangout using the url link tool (which you can only see if you start a new thread or use the reply option within a thread).

there's 2 ways to post a url

Method 1 - use the url insert button and then type in your url
eg www.4shared.com/file/22862757/ab065c04/duo_070401.html
Which, when you're editting your message looks like [ url] internet link [/url]
[/color]
or

Method 2 - Have the hyperlink appear under some other text use the url insert button and then type in your url
eg some fella's ugly mug and the coding for that looks like [ url=type your internet link here ]make some smart comment here [/ url]

I hope this makes sense to someone

Excellent explanation, Warren.

Is it possible for members of this forum to upload files directly when they post via an attachment option, an option that would first need to be made available. However, as this is a paid for service I haven't concidered it, this being a free forum, etc...
