Accept following rules before uploading files (attachments) to the server:

  • Don't violate any copyrights. It is not legal to post copied sheet music from albums, books or other sources as long as it's content is under copyright. It's not legal to post and contents of CD's, mp3 files and other musical sources which are under copyright. However you can upload any of your own compositions or those of third parties as long as you firmly know that you are not violating any copy right. If you wish to protect your own creations do so and make a copyright note in the post which bears your attachment. Be also aware that Panfluteforum.org is not responsible for screening you content. You are responsible yourself regarding your uploaded files.
  • Virus check all files before you upload them. Do the same when you download a posted attachment. Keep this Forum virus free!
  • Don't upload any material which is libelous, defamatory, obscene, indecent, lewd, pornographic, violent, abusive, threatening, harassing or is otherwise in violation of the law.
  • Keep the upload small in file size. Compress files as good as possible. Don't waste server space with unneeded attachments.
  • VERY IMPORTANT: Open a separate thread for each uploaded file. Enter a brief description of the attachment in the SUBJECT section and a more extended explanation in the MESSAGE BOX. This makes it easier to find a specific file with the search engine. This is very important, since the search engine only scans through the message text but not through the file itself.

How to upload files (attachment)
Uploading files is really simple. To do so you must be "registered" and "logged in". Post a message or reply to an existing message. After the file description in the message click "continue". Now you can attach the file by clicking "Browse". Remember where in your computer the file is. Go to the right folder (directory), click the file and then
"Open". Then click "continue".

The file is now uploaded and will show in the post as an "attachment".

There could be several reasons if your upload fails. Your file could be more than 250KB, your file extension is not one of the listed above or your browser is not compatible with uploading files.
