Unless we are running the most recent version of LabVIEW, there are always going to be attachments uploaded that we can't open. It would be nice to know what LabVIEW version attachments were made in before downloading them and getting an error. It would also be good for the community to upload code in a lower version so that more people can use it. We can simply ask for it uploaded in a lower version, but is an annoyance on both sides to have to do so. With new posters, it can often take 4-6 messages to get code that I can actually open: Please post your code. Here it is. Can you upload for this version? How do I do that? This is how. Here it is again. About 13 years ago there was a great suggestion to put LabVIEW versions next to uploaded code, but I don't know how feasible it is. It has also been discussed here and here. The Tips for posting code document makes mention of uploading for a lower version, but I don't know how much visibility that gets. Since it is already being enforced to attach the label of "LabVIEW" or "LabVIEW NXG" maybe a dropdown could appear to ask the user what version they are using. This drop down could be left blank, since many posts don't attach code or reference a specific LabVIEW version, but I think people would probably use it since they are already applying the product label. What do people think, would this be a nice feature? Is this even an issue for other people?

LabVIEW version of attached code

This is a good suggestion. I have always wondered why NI forums don't have a separate field for the attachment comments, so the user could specify the version of his/her VIs. Some other forums out there already do have such a field and when posting I'm always filling in the version info. Not having that possibility I have to specify the version in the file name, that I often forget to do.
