Attachment Size

[Shawn Gossman]

What attachment size limit do you have on your forum?

What's the biggest attachment size you will allow a member to upload?

This would be for images, files, videos, etc.

I am curious to know too.
Yesterday, I was actually uploading an image (on my forum) and It said the image
was too large.
I would like to find out a sweet spot about the size because I don't want too large files either.
In regards to videos, I let users to post the links, but don't allow to upload videos. I rather videos been shared through
YouTube.

I usually double the default. Usually it's 1042 I think, so I will make it 2084 or something like that.

I think I’ve got mine set at 8mb. But with restrictions for regular members. Staff can upload, members are limited to 1024kb or double, would need to check.

8MB would probably be too much.

Could you imagine a bunch of 8MB photos on the forum? LOL That might slow things down.

In reality no ones does this. And a software like XF optimizes it to webp, so it's never 8mb.
