forum usage: attachment upload 1.1 MB gives error

Post by justwanttoknow »

To have a better basis for discussion I try to upload a file.FCStd to a post, but it results on in:
Error

HTTP error.
Attachent appears in the attachment tab, but is not being posted.
Filesize is 1.1MB, while 1.46 is allowed..... tested zipped. Same result.
Any ideas? Thanks!

Where does it say 1.46? I'm not doubting you. I just can't find where it says that's the size limit. At the link below it says 1MB.
File attachments are limited to 1MB in size. If your *.FCStd file is too big to attach, you can use an online storage service (many are free like Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, Dropbox).

Depends on the forum theme you use. I use prosilver and that is what is shown.

No urgency as I've used a filehoster for the intended post. It might just be a bit misleading.

unfortunately that is the wrong size limit! the real size limit is 1mb, @yorik can this be corrected? this was also a source of confusion to me in the past.
