Any chance of bumping the attachment size? Possibly there is a plug-in that will reduce the images upon posting? I know I've written things like that for systems that had storage constraints. Or is there another option that is desired?

Hi George,

What are you trying to attach?

The max attachment size is 500kb which is large enough to attach any image of reasonable size meant for online viewing, but usually not ones straight from the camera. I do this on purpose to avoid people posting 2-6mb images direct from the that are too large to be viewed properly. I also limit the image size to 1920x1800 pixels.

We're a bit old-school with this forum software (phpbb2) and I haven't seen any mods or addons I like for automated image resizing. It's complicated by the fact that an attachment mod is already being run here to allow for attachments (phpbb2 doesn't come with one by default). So auto resizing would have to be a custom mod to this existing mod, complicating matters.

If you have a lot of images to post or specific needs, often the best way is to host them in any number of free online image tools and then just link to them. That way you have full control.

Kal

Pics related to my build. I'll shrink them on my own or use a service. I thought the error was saying 300k.
