in reply to File upload during post

I think it would be better if we would not have this feature.

When monks post a question to SOPW, it's usually a problem that is highly localised into (no more than) about 20 lines of code. So posting the entire script, which may have several hundred lines of code, does not exactly help the other monks trying to answer the question. Encouraging that behavior is not a good idea, in my humble opinion.

update mr.nick is right, I misread that.

    Who said it had to be in SOPW? There are PLENTY of places here where large code/text is OK to be posted: Craft, Tutorials, Cool Uses for Perl, Snippets...

    Not having the upload feature on SOPW would be fine, but lets not dismiss it out of hand because possible abuse in one area.
