    Attachment Maxsize Issue

    I have each filetype set to 100kb max filesize for attachments... however on the posting screen when a user tries to add an attachment, it says "Maximum file size: 10.00 MB" If a user then tries to upload a file larger than 100kb, they get an error which says max filesize is 100kb.

    I think (without actually looking at code) what is happening is the number being displayed is the sum of the max filesizes for each filetype. I could be wrong.

    Is this considered a bug? Should I add that to the bug tracker? I've included two screenshots - one of the post screen and one of the admin panel.

    It is posted somehwere else here that the size you are seeing is the Max PHP attachment size allowed - It is NOT a VB setting it is a PHP setting

    On my board it is 50 mb !!!! Cant wait for a user to try to upload a 40 mb jpg ... LOL

      I just noticed the same problem and I was wracking my brain over it (because we have members who may think they can upload 30 megs worth of stuff). It would be nice if we could either manually set the total limit or have something like the sum of the greatest amount of space. I don't want to limit it in PHP because I have other sections of my site that require the higher upload limit (for videos and what not).

          Faranth: I can say "DUH"? I know it's getting it from php.ini

          Code:
          ; Maximum allowed size for uploaded files.
          upload_max_filesize =30M
          Plus, it shows that same value on my forum.

          Though, I notice it doesn't show up here when I attached the image.

              That would be my first guess. I am not dumb... I am merely stating an observation that I have made.

                Ok fine they edited their templates, so should we not be given instruction of where and what to do to remove the info??

                I too have non too bright users who try to upload files and when it does not let them flame me for being an incompetent by showing info that they can post and then not letting them.
