> [@nathank](#): > > So I’m stumped - especially as to why it works in two forums I run and not the other - S3 being the only difference. And that you have it working with S3. I’m really confused. Ok - I’ve made progress. Disabling S3 uploads fixes it for new uploads. But I’m left with a S3 / local mess if I go down that road! If could be that I am not using the CDN thingo (CloudFront) which throws up the annoying errors on the admin page. I’ll have a crack setting that up and see if that works. _later_ - nope, a CDN makes no difference. _much later_ - have [removed S3 uploads successfully](https://meta.discourse.org/t/stop-using-amazon-s3-for-uploads/107286/41) (with a bit of sweat) so all good now. Now, I’m keen to improve it! Is any clever person with the skills interested in giving this a crack? > [@pacharanero](#): > > Would it be possible to make PDF Preview suppressable by prepending a space before the upload link, like with oneboxing?
