Extension
Extension of the allowed file type.

Example: jpg, in lowercase letters without the leading period (.).

Max Filesize (in bytes)
Maximum filesize for individual attached files of this extension.

Take your overall site storage limitations into consideration in deciding what size files to allow. You also need to consider the MySQL and PHP settings that affect the maximum file size you can upload.

Generally one megabyte is a good rule of thumb. If you need larger files and find yourself not able to post them, you'll need to ask for support via our ticket system or on the support forums.

Maximum Width (in pixels)
Maximum width of an uploaded image. This setting applies only to some image types. By default we include all image types that support this option.

This only applies to image files of the extensions: bmp, gif, jpe, jpg, jpeg, png, psd, tif and tiff.

Maximum Height (in pixels)
Maximum height of an uploaded image. This setting applies only to some image types. By default we include all image types that support this option.

This only applies to image files of the extensions: bmp, gif, jpe, jpg, jpeg, png, psd, tif and tiff.

Mime Type
The mime type dictates how the browser handles the files when the attachment is opened. General mime-type lists are available on the Internet.
