Be able to find forum posts with presets and blocks attached easily.

not a criticism, more of a reminder: let's use Axe-change, we share so many great presets in the forum but the exchange is very sparse for the Axe 3. @iaresee @Admin M@ would it be possible to make a plugin that scoops the presets posted as attachments and puts them in the database? That would really go a long way to solve the cold start problem and encourage more sharing.
Totally, tighter integration between Axe-Change and the forum--automatically--would really supercharge Axe-Change! Even better if it automatically uploaded to Axe-Change instead of being a message attachment, and unfurled a pretty integration in your forum message.
Might I suggest we share links from Axe-Change?
Probably not -- there's no correlation between forum accounts and Axe-Change accounts.
But like, I love being proven wrong by motivated software developers. So have at it?
One 'simpler' option would be to add a search filter to the forum that can pull out all posts with a .syx attachment. Thus a "Search thread" tab with checkbox of "Has attachment/link" and an extension drop-down: , .syx, *.blk, axechange, image (.jpg,.gif...) , youtube, soundcloud, ....
Of course for syx files, one wouldn't automatically be able to tell if it is a preset, IR, bank or firmware, but something like this could go a long way. An additional min/max size filter might be able to filter closer (e.g. if AF3 presets are around 50 KB).
An additionally there could be a stickied AF3 thread (e.g. "All Posted Presets", "All Posted Blocks") that is an auto-search of *.syx & *.blk posts within all AF3 sub-forums/threads by most recent date.
