There is. I just went to my groups.io user profile page following Siggi's link, and although the option isn't obvious (you have to click on an 'Advanced Preferences' button that looks like a heading

How about allowing attachments with these limitations: 1. Users should be able to disable whether or not they receive them. 2. Place a limitation on size - a 1.5GB attachment is ridiculous, there

If you're referring to email delivery of attachments here, then this - as many have mentioned - is avoidable. Please go take a look at your subscription settings

It's coming back to me gradually - this stuff was discussed here a while back, maybe 2-4 years. I think the 577 non-storage CRT can work in the 576, but I wouldn't want to waste 577s for that purpose.

A couple of things: Some news clients will leave attachments on the server until told to download them. I am not sure if Thunderbird will do this but have used others that do.    Secondly, there may

I looked into this issue a few years ago, and as I recall, it may be possible to sub certain CRTs functionally, but with a different graticule, like the standard scope 10x8 div markings, instead of

I now have noticed that conversation on the ESR subject and related issues regarding the high number of replies has now results in sort of a “Hydra’ of multiple posts with different subject

Yes, don't be stupid and just set your Groups.io account to NOT RECEIVE ATTACHMENTS if you don't want them.     Mark Jordan

I DO NOT WANT TO DEAL WITH A BUNCH OF ATTACHMENTS FOR WHICH I HAVE NO USE AND FOR WHICH I HAVE TO PAY DATA FEES TO MY ISP. If one wants to provide photos, put them in the photos section of the group.

Regarding the concerns expressed about allowing attachments I suggest taking a look at how it is working out for other groups that presently allow attachments. One such group is

I wholeheartedly agree that allowing attachments would greatly enhance the ability of users to clarify questions and provide responses. The old saying that a picture is worth a thousand words comes to

After an hour of failed searches I posted a *very* specific question pertaining to identifying a *particular* model of ESR tester which I wanted to buy. Shortly after I posted the query, I realized

Attachments come in two kinds. One where you include a link to some (likely temporary) place where the attachment is hosted, and another where the attachment is hosted by the forum, groups.io. It is
