Images in PM's

Post by wdln »

So I did not realize that our forum was set to disallow images in private messages until just now, when I tried to send one. That is now fixed. You can now send photos in PM's.

Great! I had tried and failed in the past. Thanks for enabling it now.

Took me awhile to find where to enable it, actually. I was getting a cryptic error saying that JPG's weren't allowed as attachments, but there was nothing set in the attachment settings to disallow those files. I found it in a different area of the admin panel, which is surprisingly complex. I now know how to reject attachments in PM's depending on who you are, or what computer you are connecting from. <evil grin>

Please note that there is still a 5MB per-picture size limit for both the forum and PM's. Even the best digital SLR cameras these days take JPG's in the 3-4MB range so we should be OK, at least for a few years.

If you have any question regarding anything administrative on a phpBB forum just ask. I write mods myself, run a few forums, and know the software better than the average admin would.
