Thanks for your reply.
That is not true Kev. Because I've just received an attachment i.e. doc. file.

It wasnt actually Kev who wrote that msg, he is at Aquarama.

.doc files can only be attached to select areas of the site for security reasons.

Hi Proteus

I don't get it, sorry for my stupid. What do u mean by select area? So some one can PM me and attach a doc. file but me. Is it what you meant?

In relation to PM's it is the same for all users...


Allowed Extension Groups and their Sizes

Documents -> Maximum Upload Size: 128 KB
ai doc dot pdf ppt ps xls

Images -> Maximum Upload Size: 128 KB
gif jpeg jpg png tga tif


http://www.discusforums.com/forum/attach_rules.php?f=-1

down the track we will probably change this, to images only, as it reduces the risk of nasties getting in.

Mine is only 4 kB, and it keeps saying

" Sorry, but the maximum filesize for all Attachments in your Private Message Folder has been reached. Please delete some of your received/sent Attachments. "

I believe that I don't have any attachment letf in my mail box.
Thanks

That includes all images you have posted, attachments that are in sent & recieved PM's etc

I would be guessing you are at the max of your limit.

I will look into it more tonight and try to increase your attachment space (cant do it now, have to go to work)

there must be something wrong with the file type.

maybe test it with a basic image file...

There is your answer...

you need to delete some old PM's, or move them to your saved folder...

:wink:

I have just tried sending an attachment to myself from a test id, and it worked no problem...

I am at a loss as to what is going on... you must have some attachments in your message area which are max'ing your limit out (I have just increased it again)

Proteus

I can only find 4 attachments under your ID

Pacific Discus-Quotation.doc
PP pair.jpg
120_2085.JPG
live-import-list.pdf

I have just increased your limits again, maybe try logging out, logging back in, or hitting refresh
