Penalties. Harsh and swift. Hit 'em where it hurts: either in the wallet or in their EE access. $10 or 1-day suspension per misnamed file; $1 or 1-day suspension for each KB over 50KB. With those penalties, you'll have this problem nipped in the bud IMMEDIATELY!

;^)

How about adding the 'requirements' to the upload screen?

That sounds doable. Not to say your other idea doesn't have merit. :-)

I know absolutely nothing about the Beehive software, but it is fairly easy to programmatically determine the version of a CorelDraw file. It may be more trouble than it is worth, but, after an upload, the file could be checked for the version and the suffix appended, automagically! Gee, you could also send an invoice to the poster at the same time. REVENUE!!!

Would Eric be interested in evaluating that feature? I realize he probably has a lot on his to-do-list.

I do not like the idea of penalizing members who go a little too far with file size. We can PM them to have it taken care of. If not complied with and the file is just too large we may have to delete it, but even that hurts.

In another thread I posted a new rule, you can post a large file to get help with it, as long as you delete the file after you receive the help. I think that covers being helpful and eliminating the problem with huge files. Hope it works. (We are still in the learning stages of forums and flying by the seat of our pants.)

Carl,

I have what I call my "Wish List" for Eric, which he's working his way through.

We can add that to the list. :-)

Harvey,

Carl was kidding about penalizing people, as was I, when I said that idea had merit.

It could have been read either way. I just wanted to be sure that our members did not read it wrong and miss the humor part.

I got the humor part......


When you finally understand it completely... it changes.
