 Basecamp To Do lists I'm banging my head here against a brick wall. Well, a logitech keyboard at least. Is there no way in Basecamp to add an attachment to a To Do list? Possibly I'm approaching this the wrong way but I want to centralise client website changes and maintenance and I this seems the best way. Or had.  Thanks!

| not that I know of  Only using the free account though as I didn't really find it all that great. (doesn't allow file uploads from the Messages -> Attach files section with the free version) On a different Note I ended up using Task Freak TaskFreak! web based task manager / todo list written in PHP for various things though there isn't that much development happening on it and it does lack a lot of features still its multi user

| on a different note I bit the bullet and signed up with goplan.org ... only on the personal plan but I'm loving it so far ... (took a look at the free version ... liked it .. decided to sign up on the personal for 10 quid a month) Doesn't seem to be able to add attachments to tasks on it either but you can to tickets ... |

 Basecamp can be a fun communication tool, but it kind og sucks for project management. I know, I was fighting to use it for 6 months. It upset me that the tool didn't have Gantt charts and all the PM stuff, but it is so popular, so I kept trying  Anyway, now I'm with Wrike.com, they don't have any limitations on file attachements to tasks   |

| I just signed up to wrike there ... and for some reason I'm finding it extremely annoying :| ... its potentially a LOT more feature rich ... but it doesn't feel good / nice .. and its not something I could give my customers access to. But maybe thats just me |

| Why not? I invited my clients to Wrike, it took like 3 minutes for them to sign up. After that all they need to do is just reply my e-mails. That's it. No logging on or stuff like that. I manage about 5 projects this way and share tham with different people. It's great, cause they cannot see each other's projects and tasks, but I have access to everything |

| lack of colour coding ... I find the reloading annoying ... I don't find the UI intuitive ... I mean I have my folders by project but where on earth do I create a project ? department and so on ? Don't get me wrong it is nice ... Its just ... not clear what I have to do in certain cases ... goplan I just found simple ... all laid out clearly for me That said they still need to do a good bit of work on goplan ... but I've shown it to a few people and they've gone ... cool |

| I see you have your ow opinion on this. Well tastes differ Here's what I do. A foloder - is a project or depertment - whatever you like it to be. For me this is the beauty of it. I can create a tasks an put it into let's say "Mega Web-site design" folder. This is how I organize my tasks by projects. At the same time I put it into the "Marketing" folder. This is how I organize my tasks by department. Flexibility rules! |

| Oh Boll** ..  ok now I'm seeing how it works ... It wasn't obvious at the start how to go about adding projects / customers ... and so on ... ...The green colours still annoy me though ... if I have more time I might set up a project and play around with it ... The time management aspect could end up being quite handy ... |
