    URL restrictions on new members

    Posting URL's

    Can anything be done to refine the restriction on new members posting threads containing URL's?

    I understand why the restriction exists, but I wanted to share a neat script I made and because it has wget features in it, I can't post it even if it is contained in a code block.

    Can new members attach text files?

    My new blog. It's probably not as good as I think it is.

    I was fairly sure you could post anything that was inside of code tags, because it is all converted to plaintext anyway.

    This issue has been discussed in depth in the Admin Forum on several occasions, and it's unlikely that the 15-posts requirement for posting URLs will be lowered. However, other refinements or plugin options are not out the question.



    Edit: one thing that you can do already is add an attachment to your post with any of the following file types (as long as the file size is not too large):

    → new members/users: read this first | new member faq
    → no private messages requesting computer support - post them on the forums!
    → please use the "report post" button to alert our forum admins to problematic posts rather than responding to them yourself.
