I just figured this out Laughing . When you guys are trying to send your files to somebody on ZEQ2, the forums only supports .zip .rar and some picture formats. IT DOES NOT SUPPORT .bmp pictures and other plain file formats. If you attempt to post these it will say "no post mode specified". So if it's not archived in a .zip or .rar file, you cannot attach it Smile .

I tried this on Google Chrome, with a .rar file, uploading an Addon Pack. Doesn't work, and it is definitely smaller than 2GB. Sad

Only certain formats are allowed, yes. We have to manually add a new extension if support is needed. BMP would be very impractical as it has no compression whatsoever. Use PNG if you need a lossless image format with compression or JPG otherwise.

This issue could easily relate to your router, Internet Service Provider, or computer network settings. What operating system are you using? Does it work if you plug up directly to the internet (not using a router if you are)?

I tried it on my desktop, which is Vista, and it is connected to the internet via an ethernet cable. I am not sure if the router was connected when doing so, but I haven't checked my network settings. I will look at it as soon as I can.

EDIT: I also tried it on my Windows 7 Laptop via wireless connection on Google Chrome, and got the same result. I am not sure if it has to do with connection, so can someone confirm trying to upload a .rar or .zip file containing an addon pack that is 400 to 600 MB compressed?
