I have a quiz I want to post but it's not accepting the attachment. It's a MHTML document. Any suggestions?

Can you print it to a .pdf document?

Can you put it in a Zip file? I believe that format is allowed.

If it's MHTML it includes some sort of active content such as Flash animations, so PDF wouldn't work.

Few forums allow that type of file. Most, like here, will even 'disable' mhtml and html put in posts because they can be a dangerous attack vector.

Technically the file can be zipped and attached. But - Few browsers support this format, and the process for saving a web page along with its resources as an MHTML file is not standardized across those browsers that do. Due to this, a web page saved as an MHTML file using one browser may render differently on another. MHTML is a Microsoft 'invention'.

That's correct, it does have animations. Oh well. Thanks to all that replied.

As has been suggested, you can zip the file and attach it to a post.
