Problems with attachments
Experiencing difficulties attaching a file? Here are some common problems:
- Special characters: remove special characters from the title and try again.
- Unsupported web browser: make sure you are using a supported web browser.
- Some types of files present a security risk: we do not support a variety of file formats, such as .exe, .bat and .jar, because they can be used to distribute malware.
