== Upload files ==

The upload files page doesn't have a image uploading policy or something like that: We should not use formats like [[GIF]], with can cause patent problems, or like [[Windows bitmap|BMP]]. with are not optimal. I suggest [[PNG]] and [[JPEG]].
:Very few web browsers support MNG (the animated version of PNG).  [[Mozilla]] does, but Microsoft Internet Explorer (&gt;90% of users) doesn't.  What format should we use for animations? --[[user:Damian Yerrick|Damian Yerrick]]

Also, we probably have no need for .exe or .mp3 files--do we?
:WAV is not optimal, and MP3 has patent problems. Use [[Ogg]] [[Vorbis]] instead. --[[user:Damian Yerrick|Damian Yerrick]]

2002-06-21: A file with an ampersand in its name cannot be deleted. The file is &amp;#1603;&amp;#1575;&amp;#1587; &amp;#1575;&amp;#1604;&amp;#1593;&amp;#1575;&amp;#1604;&amp;#1605; 01.jpg (كاس العالم 01.jpg) and several sysops have tried to delete it to no avail. -[[user:PierreAbbat|phma]]

2002-06-23: Some upload log entries are missing. cutelayout.bmp was never uploaded, but it was deleted; and sxvspork.zip was uploaded and never deleted, but it isn't there. -[[user:PierreAbbat|phma]]
