gwells Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 I am seeing at least a couple of members complaining they can't attach more than a couple of images to a post before seemingly getting a warning that their attachment file size limit has been reached. Am PM'ing one member to see if I can determine why this is happening to him, as the two photos he says reached his limit on one particular post don't total as much as 200 KB when I save them locally out of his post. Peter, can you confirm what is the per-post attachment file size limit for regular members please? As an admin, I realize my limit is probably higher. The member I am working with seems to indicate his attachment limit in 9.7 MB, and if that's the case, it's odd that he is unable to attach more less than 200 KB of images. Again, I have seen a few other members making mention of this issue. If there's something I'm missing here, please educate me. Link to comment

I'm guessing the photos he uploaded were a lot larger than 200 KB, probably several MBs, when he up loaded them to the forum. I believe the copy of the photos you downloaded to your computer had been automatically resized by the forum software to 200 KB before they were stored on the server. 1 Link to comment
gwells Posted September 7, 2018 Author Share Posted September 7, 2018 Yes, I realize that and have asked the member to email me the uploaded images directly from his computer. But the images in question download as one at 47 KB and one at 67 KB, which suggests to me that they are not larger pics being resized to a set smaller figure during the upload process. And if the member is correct that his per-post limit is 9.7 MB, it's unlikely this is an 'images too big issue,' although I know from my own IP.Board forum that it is certainly possible.
