File attachments in discussions

[PYUDNG]

Hi JasonBarnabe — love the site, and appreciate all you do! Quick question: I was wondering if we could add support for more file types in discussions (like .txt, .log, .zip, .json). Is there any particular reason it's currently limited to images?

Images were the original intention as screenshots and such are often useful in discussions. I want to specifically avoid .js as people posting user scripts in a discussion would circumvent moderation and performance optimizations that JS posted a script have. .zip and other compression formats I would also like to avoid, because they can easily contain the disallowed file types.

I don't have any objections to .txt, .log, or .json, as long as people don't end up trying to use them as resources loaded by their scripts. I would need to look into what changes are necessary as the site is set up to treat all attachments as images right now.

You're my hero @JasonBarnabe, I'm looking forward to .txt/.json/.log attachments on greasyfork. Love you!!!
