@Guburnor, I wonder if you can let us know what the max file sizes are for attachments and pictures.
Currently can't post a 534KB picture.
Fully understand the need for restrictions particularly as you are paying for the hosting and bandwidth but it would be good to know what the current limits are?

Re: Max file sizes?
It's 300k per attachment, and a max of 3 attachments per post.The Continental Op wrote: ↑Tue Jul 27, 2021 12:12 pm @Guburnor, I wonder if you can let us know what the max file sizes are for attachments and pictures.

Re: Max file sizes?
I make of a copy of the photo I want to post, the resize the copy down to 20 / 40 percent of the original.
Re: Max file sizes?
Thanks, found the info when I reduced a picture right down in size and got it attached, its in the attachment details.
It might be an idea to change the error msg you get when the file is too large to include the max file size.

Re: Max file sizes?
As the recent upgrade of a certain other forum has shown, it's somewhat more reliable to use third party image hosting sites, even if a forum allows images to be attached/uploaded. That gets around the problem of file size (especially for direct uploads from the capturing device, which are frequently several multiples bigger than necessary) and allows you to more easily post the same image in different threads, or even on different forums if you're into that kind of thing!
