Finale Forum

You need to go in and remove one of the attachments from the attachments tab. I edited the first one and now it only shows one file.

The only thing you can do is re-attach them to your post by editing it to get it back in the database.

We were able to do a partial restore from a backup on 9/1/2020 and merge it with the new attachments since September 17, 2020. Please check your attachments and see if some missing ones turned up. I noticed some seem to be back ( Motet's transposition chart ) but others are still missing ( Peter Tho...

We finally figured out what happened to the attachments. There was no hack, no passwords were compromised, and the site is stable. The server company upgraded the database servers and moved the database to new hardware without telling us. Unfortunately, the attachments database was corrupted and the...

It was a maintenance issue.

We have made no changes to the forum software since 2019 so I cannot explain this.

Guys,

I am unable to duplicate this problem. I can attach a file (image or .mus) then delete it. I can attach a file, preview the post, then delete the file.

I don't think that's it. I think it's more likely that if you edited a post that already had an attachment, there may be a bug in the forum software that doesn't grab all the attachments when you save the edit. We're still looking into it.

Motet reported this issue yesterday. There is no automatic removal of attachments by age or any other metric. We don't randomly or automatically prune the forum. The only thing that gets pruned are spam and inactive users. So far we can find no evidence of a hack but we've asked the moderators to ch...

P.S.: One of the reasons I have favored using this forum is due to its look. The look now is not as good to the eye. It seems a step backwards was taken. Quite a disappointment. And where is the option to save a draft of a post? Anyone can choose the template they wish to use. 1. Click the arrow ne...

The forums have been upgraded to a new responsive design that will be better on mobile. Most of the custom mods have been moved over, but if you notice anything missing please let us know. The new template is "flat," but you can choose the template you wish to use. 1. Click the arrow next to your us...

We have made some very minor design tweaks to the forum to improve readability. - We have increased the size of the title on each individual message page. - We have increased the space after the poster's username. - We have increased the white space between each post. tweaks.png - We have changed th...

We have added new items to top bar for "View unread posts," and "View new posts." These are available on any page so you don't have to go back to the "Board Index" to see the links.

Unfortunately, it's simply not our mission to provide a file swapping service. This site exists to help people discuss Finale and that's really the bottom line. We are here for discussion purposes and that's about it. The attachments feature is only used to enhance the discussion by allowing samples...

I suggest you get a cloud space provider and link to your files there (Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, etc.).

The limit should be 250k.

I've added .mus and .musx. Please try it and let me know.

Thanks,

By request we have increased the avatar file size, and dimensions limit (slightly). This may have affected some of the avatars. You may need to go into your profile and reupload your avatar to get it to work.

Thanks!

Everyone would like to get rid of ads, but it likely won't happen. We could try a donation button, but I'm not sure how many people would donate enough to make it work. I started the forum with custom software back in 1994 when I was a full time composer. I've left it out there as a public service f...

All, Due to a build up of signature spam, we have had to reset all signatures that contained a URL. If your signature did not contain a URL then you should not be affected, but you might want to double check it. We will no longer be able to support bbcode URLs in signatures going forward, and we wil...
