# Attachments for posts

You can optionally attach one or more files (the number depends on the forum settings) to any post in the forums.

This can useful when you want to share a picture or a word processing document, for example.

Your files can be of any type, however it is highly recommended that the file is named using standard 3-letter internet suffixes such as .doc for a Word document, .jpg or .png for an image, and so on. This will make it easier for others to download and view your attachment in their browsers.
