Are there any size limitations of attachments to blog posts?  I have a 18 meg zip file of the old forum in .sndb, but could not get it to attach to a blog message.

16MB is the current limit. Perhaps, you could compact your .sndb file before zipping it

It's already zipped; hopefully I can get rid of enough avatars to bring it under the limit.

If you put it on some web storage service, I can put it up for you, or try sending it to betasupport@... It may make it through

I'm now uploading it to a web storage service.
 
Here's what I was going to post in new blog:
 
"Here's the old forum in .sndb forum.
 
The setup is very simple--no hierachy.
 
There may a few duplicates here and there.
 
It's rather large--after a while, I started deleting the avatars.
 
I put in all the forums except the "naming" one.
 
Everything is a MHT file, so get out your Word or Blocknote to edit.
 
I captured everything, unless there was a totally blank message. So there are a bunch of "bumps", "thanks", "edited previous post", etc, that could be deleted.
 
Technique:
 
0) a large amount of experimentation with how best to do the web captures, and whether to mix MHT and HTML.
 
1) brute force web capture message by message,
 
2) categorize by forum
 
3) type/ cut 'n paste "Who" names (INCREDIBLY tedious, by the way)
 
4) type/ cut 'n paste thread name. 
 
5)  mutter over and over "am I ever going to get this thing done?" .

Have fun!"
