Attachment problem

Tired of talking about rowing and want to talk about the real world? Enter a forum where rowing is a rude word...

Attachment problem

Post by Peter_S »

I have been trying to post a reply with a file attachment, but keep getting the following error message:

Sorry, the board attachment quota has been reached.

What needs to be done, and by whom?

Not seen that one before - definitely sounds like a Thomas WP question to me

I had that exact one a few days back. It appears that we have a limit in the number of attachments we can post. You can see the number posted in User Control Panel - and "Manage Attachments" in the "Overview Tab". By deleting a couple of previous ones, I was able to insert a new attachment, but that means that the one deleted disappears from that post :(

The maximum appeared to be 10 attachments for me (though it may be related to file size), but I can't imagine it has always been so, as I know some people post attached FBA/Rowpro reports regularly :-k

Hopefully Thomas can clear this one up for us :fsbgrin:

I got a message back from Thomas yesterday, confirming that the problem should now be resolved;
Thomas W-P wrote:I have had a look at the settings. There is 50MB for the whole forum, and I have upped that to 100MB, there is also a 256k (upped to 512) limit on attachments, and a maximum of three per post (not touched).

Let me know if this fixes things.

Thomas
Thanks Thomas :D
