[Forum] Exceeds your quota by...

[Darakir]

I'm supposed to have unlimited upload space. I've checked
Admin CP -> Settings -> Options -> Message Attachment Options -> Limit Space Taken Up By Attachments (Total)

and

Admin CP -> Usergroups -> Usergroup Manager -> Edit Usergroup -> Attachment Permissions -> Space (in bytes) that a user's total attachment usage may consume

Both are set to 0 (unlimited). Still I have a red full bar in my attachment statistics, and I can't upload anything else. What could be the problem? I am a member of two user groups, both with the setting 0.

Edit: Attachment maganger says I have 104857600 bytes for the file type in question, which should be enough.

You may have unlimited space set in your vB options but have you checked to see whether you're running out of space on the server?

[Darakir]

This is just weird. I have about 350 MB uploaded attachments, but when I look in the attachment manager it says that I have: "21.14 MB of 38.15 MB Used". I have no idea where the 38.15 limit comes from, nor why it thinks I just have 21.14 MB uploaded. Could it have anything to do with the fact that we just transferred the forum to a new server?

The new server have room for a lot more, gigabytes more. I'll check with the host though.

[Trevor Hannant]

Do you store the attachments in the database or the filesystem?

[Darakir]

In the filesystem.
The host says there is space and the php settings should allow for a lot bigger attachments.

How many usergroups are you a part of?

[Darakir]

I'm sorry for the necro post, but I just got this issue again and did not remember how I solved it last time, so for future reference to anyone else having this issue (or future me), the error was with user groups, as Zachery guess above.
0 (unlimited) does not override a lower value on other user groups you are a member of. So check the other user groups.

Edit: that did not work this time though, still have the issue, don't know what is causing it. I'll try to update this when I find it, but if anyone have ideas, they are welcomed. I rebuilt the bitfields, that was not it either.

[Darakir]

Ok, solved it now. The issue was different this time.
When editing someone else's post, I get their limit on attachments, not my own. Isn't that weird? Is it a bug or WAD?
