 * Whenever I try to restrict the file extension allowed to be uploaded….it never
   works. I have a page where I only want people to be able to upload videos with
   certain extensions, but it doesn’t work and instead allows every file type to
   be uploaded. What’s wrong? Below is how I have it on my upload page:
 * [inline_upload uploadrole=”all” uploadpath=”uploads/video-testimonials” createpath
   =”false” dublicatespolicy=”maintain both” uniquepattern=”index” maxsize=”50″ 
   uploadpattern=”*.mov,*.wmv,*.mpg,*.mod,*.mpeg,*.mp4,*” notify=”true” notifyrecipients
   =”info@mysite.com” notifysubject=”New Video Upload” attachfile=”false” askforsubfolders
   =”false” subfoldertree=”” filebaselink=”false” widths=”filename:150px, selectbutton:
   80px, uploadbutton:80px, progressbar:220px, message:368px” placements=”title/
   filename+selectbutton/uploadbutton+progressbar/message”]
