Hello;
Whats the maximum size bytes you can post in Forum\Projects?
I came out with a new version of Vari_Cyph. The source code is about 30 KiloBytes..
I want to know if i have to break it into several posts??

Re: Max Upload Size
Hi Albert, I don't know the exact answer, but here is an example where I had to split my post in 2 parts. It may give you a first idea maybe.
viewtopic.php?p=255599#p255599

Re: Max Upload Size
the post limit is 64000 characters, or is it bytes? not sure which, but my guess is that you would probably be able to post your code in one post.

Thanks for the info...
It posted the whole 30K source... See board \Projects Vari_Cyph_FB_V_14

Re: Max Upload Size
Once a project gets this sort of size, and you want to make the source public, it would generally be a good idea to store it in an online repository (e.g. Bitbucket, GitHub or GitLab), which have lots of advantages to pasting into a forum:
- the code can be shared, and a link provided to the forum, or elsewhere
- there are no impractical size limits
- syntax highlighting is supported for many languages
- the code can be split across multiple files
- it is possible to change the code and track the changes between each revision
- offline code can easily be kept in sync with online repositories
- it is easier for other people to make and share changes to the code
- if the forum goes down or suffers a database error, the code is not lost

I noticed Landeel used drive.google.com/ which for some reason pops up a "Oops! There was a problem with the network" message but it still downloads the .zip file
Pitto used github.com which lists all the files and which you can download as a .zip file

Besides here.. I post my projects of finished programs to sourceforge
It would be nice , if you could post *.zip files , here in the FB forums.
For my "Huh-Yuh" language , i need to post 352 , *.pft files , for the font buttons.. The *.pft = Picto-Font files.
As is ; i'd have to make 352 posts.. It would be easier to just attach a *.zip file of the pft's.
So I just might put a link to the .pft , *.zip file here in the projects section of the forum..
So you copy and compile the Huh-Yuh.bas and ToolTip.bas and then download and extract the *.pft zip file to the \Huh-Yuh\Font" dir.
