File attachments not working?
« on: December 09, 2008, 08:55:06 pm »
File attachments don't seem to be working. I've tried multiple times to upload a 5.6mb file today with no success.

... Fix it.  [pigtail]

Try something over 5mb.

Yeah, next time it'd be useful if you post the error message you get instead of just saying that they don't work.

Your attachment couldn't be saved. This might happen because it took too long to upload or the file is bigger than the server will allow.

Please consult your server administrator for more information.

Satisfied? There's your damn error.

Now try it yourself with something exceeding 5mb before you insinuate that the fault is my connection.

Testing with a 7.5 MB file. The file is a compressed WC3 patch.

Edit: Works fine with me. Took at least five minutes to upload though, but on the other hand I get a maximum of 55 KB/s upload speed, 40 on Firefox.

How long did it take for your browser to time out? Also, what browser are you using?

Antipathy, I should have said in my previous post that there was a problem with attachments over 2MB that I fixed yesterday.  Uploads up to the maximum size listed in the reply/post page should work now.

I also want to clear up that I was not trying to say "Mangled, there is no problem" when I posted the smaller attachment, I was merely troubleshooting to try and fix it quickly and didn't feel like typing out a post.  I was never implying that the problem was your connection, I just wish you had posted the error message because it would have saved me a lot of time testing the issue for myself.  With the error message you had receive, I would have been able to fix the problem in about 10 seconds instead of spending 20 minutes trying to attach successively larger files.

Yeah, you probably should have. Nevermind then.

I like you FLAB. You're a wildcard but you always come up trumps.
