    Attachments Query

    We are having a problem when attaching documents to threads where the attachments contain images. When trying to attach a Word document that contains screen shots, the following message appears:

    There seems to have been a slight problem with the PINBoard database. Please try again by pressing the refresh button in your browser.

    An E-Mail has been dispatched to our Technical Staff, who you can also contact if the problem persists.

    We apologise for any inconvenience.

    This is occuring on any documents that contain screen shots or images. Is there a setting that we can change to enable the attaching of these documents?

    Thanks in advance for any advice.

    Regards

    If you can, get to that error again, and in your browser view the source of the page(in IE do view-->source). Copy and paste that here, that will give us more info about the problem

      Source reads as follows:

      <HTML>
      <HEAD>

      <TITLE>Trowers & Hamlins</TITLE>
      </HEAD>

      <FRAMESET COLS="155,*">
      <FRAME SRC="navigation.php" NAME="MENU">
      <FRAME SRC="cgi-bin/thupdate.php" NAME="MAIN">
      </FRAMESET>

      <BODY>
      This is the body of index.htm, which is never displayed.
      </BODY>
      </HTML>

      Many thanks

          You need to access your vBulletin outside of your frames, duplicate the error and then post that source code back here.

                check that page. Basically that error means something timed out with the MySQL server and it looses its connection.That's what I got from that error message. How big are these files you're trying to upload?

                  Your attachment is too big. You need to find out what MySQL's maximum page size is and make sure your attachments are smaller than that. By default the page size is 2 megabytes.
