I think that uploads to the forum should not be lmited just to GD, how about Media Centre so we can upload songs we like for others to listen to?

Just a thought (Really want to let everyone listen to Comfort Me by Pacifier)

The only problem with that is that people might upload malicious files, therefore damaging our comps.

Well, there has only happened twice I think, and if the people who put the files up say whats on it, then im pretty sure they'd be honest (well, seed members would be honest, but random passers by, then maybe not..)

There's also the question of uploading copyrighted things. Since it's on his server, Cspace could get sued - that, or his hosting company would get sued. Either one is bad.

This is a good idea, though won't be set up until we are on the new dedicated server (don't want to stretch our bandwidth much further if possible at the moment).

There definitely is a concern regarding the uploading of copyrighted songs and videos, however I don't see much harm with uploading midis and such. As long as it is a stated rule, copyrighted material can probably be kept out of the forum.

As for viruses, that is an equal concern on every site, and unfortunately I will not be able to assure that any files are safe (though they most likely are). The policy of "download at your own risk" would have to apply in the Media Center as well as GD.

The other thing is, I once tried to upload a music file in GD, and it didn't work...

Yeah, that involves the basic PHP settings (which cannot be accessed on a shared host). When we are on our own server (very soon), this will no longer be an issue and uploads will work. grnwink.gif

Also, it is these settings which should make QS run more smoothly and efficiently, as well as a number of less obvious things.
