When you choose what type of files can be uploaded to the forum, the string of extansions (.doc, .xls, ...) is put in the tblConfigurations table, in the field "Upload_files_type. Unfortunately this field is defined as a nvarchar(100), thereby limiting the amount of file extensions that can be entered.

I would suggest changing this limit to at least "255" (unless this causes problems on other DB platform than SQL Server).

That would be a lot of extensions - I expect that the most common ones would be less than that number though, but I could be wrong. Maybe this could be something worth looking at for the future
