File Filter - fudforum/FUDforum GitHub Wiki
The File Filter admin control panel allows the administrator to specify which files types can be attached to forum messages. This is done by entering the allowed file extensions.
If no file extensions are listed then ANY file can be attached.
NOTE: For security reasons, administrators should always specify the file types allowed on their forums.
