Would someone explain why the forum allows you to attach:
jpg, jpeg, png, gif, heic, heif, zip, scap, scrivtemplate, scrformat, 7z, gz, scrtypes, tex, scrtheme, ini, tavo, mov, mp4, webm, m4v, 3gp, ogv, avi, mpeg, scrivx
documents but not txt; are tex files not plain text?
Just curious.

I don’t know what you’re talking about!
( I also added .md and .log 
)
When I try to attach a .txt plain text file, it gives me that list of files it will accept, so I have to zip the plain text file, and I wonder why?
Hmm. Just tried on the M1 MBA and it’s happy to attach .txt, so its something weird about the M2Pro Mac Mini. Both are running Arc browser (Chromium-based) on 15.3.2!
This is truly weird!
Having always had to zip up .txt files on my Mac Mini to attach them to a post here, I try on the M1 MBA and it accepts un-zipped .txt, I come back to the M2 Pro Mac Mini and it now allows me to attach un-zipped .txt files.
I am discombobulated!

I did just add it to the allow list, I was being a little silly about it. As for why one is working and the other isn’t, perhaps it is cached and needs a hard refresh? A good deal of the client does offload into the browser to reduce server load.
Ahah! My guess is you added it just before I tried on the MBA. Whatever, it is working now, it seems, so the matter can rest.
As for browsers and caches, I run Maintenance on each machine regularly, and on the same day usually — it’s usually a Saturday when I do upgrading, housekeeping and tidying the desktops before backing each machine up using Carbon Copy Cloner, so, who knows.

I don’t think it would need that hard of a reset, I mean more along the lines of F5 or whatever shortcut your browser uses to force reload to download all assets again. Or I suppose if the browser doesn’t have a button for that, whatever function it has for deleting browser data. For example I have a Tools ▸ Delete Browsing Data... command, which gives me a choice of what all to nuke. I can have it only nuke the cache so I don’t lose history, cookies and other potentially useful things.
I only clear the browser cache in the browser itself if I am doing something like editing the website and need to make sure that I’m seeing the changes as I work. Onyx/Maintenance clears them (but not history or cookies!) when I run it.
