PROBLEM With Trying To ATTACH LARGE FILES ! ! !

[ez2cdave]

Alan,

I can attach and upload multiple files or single files, without any problems . . . HOWEVER, when I try to upload LARGE multiple or single files, I get this ERROR MESSAGE ( Attached ) . . .

I did use a Subject Line and there was Text in the Message Box.

I have cleared my Cookies and my cache, thinking that might be the problem, but it makes no difference. I am using Windows 7 64-Bit and Mozilla Firefox.

HELP ! ! !

Use photobucket to upload your pics, I don't think there is any issue with that.

How large are you trying to attach?  Ive never had an issue with pictures that are 2-3 mb each.

They aren't PICs, they're PDF files.

Notice the error message says the attachment size limit is "9000000 kb" . . . By my calculations, that 9GB !

The largest one I want to post is 72 MB.

I had that problem yesterday trying to attach two pictures. I would try it again and see what happens.

I've been trying last night and all day long . . . small files and multiple, small files are no problem . . . Only large files are not working !

Dave sometimes we forget the first thing we learned when we started working with computers.  Have you tried re-booting?  I'm sorry to ask the obvious but I forget to do it when I can't get something to work.  Then like Lee says, it's my D'oh for the month.  dominick

Hi, Dominick,

Yep, I've re-booted, cleared cache, cleared cookies, etc., with no difference. Small files are fine. Multiple files are fine. Large files are a "no-go" . . .

The next thing I'm going to try is using Internet Explorer (which I hate), rather than the Mozilla Firefox I have used, and updated,  for years. Also, I'm going to try it from a different computer, too.

Fingers crossed ! ! !

Well, I tried using Internet Explorer instead of Mozilla Firefox . . . I got the SAME Error Message, as before.

Nothing changed, so I'm beginning to think it's a "setting" on the Forum.

Even though it says the maximum file size is "9000000 kb" (9GB), I suspect the actual File Size is significantly lower . . .

ALAN - Please check this out for me

Thanks !

yeah, it's set as high as i can possibly go.  beyond that, i don't know.  one of the downsides of running a website with a pharmacy degree.

Park the files in a cloud storage like dropbox, google, or similar (there are plenty of free ones) -- then just provide a link to it.

That way you don't overload Alan's Website Service Provider.

Best,
