Anyone have any ideas on how to link or post "mht" documents in threads/posts?

You'll need to have it hosted online somewhere. Most ISP's give you some free webspace or you can upload it to somewhere like rapidshare.

Huh, why?  It is basically an archived "document" of a web page.  So why can't it be uploaded as an attachment like say a pdf, word doc, or image file?

Answered your own question there :tongue:

Nothing actually gets attached to posts on this forum, we simply don't have the space or bandwidth surplus to do it. That's why images in posts have to be referenced from photobucket or the likes.

Yes, I realised that is the case with this specific site  :tongue: - but what other sites, such as maybe photobucket allow uploading of said files?  I can't really be arsed to set up some personal web space just to host a couple of archived web pages!

And don't forget that most vBuletin sites can be fully customised with any file extension for uploads . . . .

Enabling it on this particular forum is simply a case of ticking a box in the admin panel, but like I said its not feasible for us. You can upload any file anonymously and without registration on http://rapidshare.de/ and it will give you a link you can paste into forums etc.

Ahhh, that might explain why there are a lot of german movies on You Porn dot com.  :wink:

I'll look into that, thanks.  :smiley:
