Allowable file formats to attach to threads or posts

What version of the code are you using?
Today's version of DiscussCESM. I don't know how to find the official version, and it probably doesn't matter.
Firefox on a Mac, updated as required by NCAR and UCAR IT.


Describe every step you took leading up to the problem:
I entered information into a window like this and tried to follow the instructions to attach relevant files.
The file I wanted to attach is a simple text file, but it is grayed out, so I can't attach it.
I've searched the CESM posts, DuckDuckGo, and Google for a list of allowable formats, but have not found one.

It would be helpful to have an easily findable page describing which formats are attachable
and why the most common form of files people would want to attach are not acceptable.
Bill Sacks' page about what to include in these posts would be a fine place for it.
Better yet would be changing the "Attach files" button to say "Attach {allowable formats} files"
