:dodgy: Well, at least I know about tons of file hosting services. My little text file would probably fill up the space I have here.

RE: Avatar and Attachments size limits
Avatar size:
My current avatar size is under 5 kB. Limit is 30 kB. Dimentions: 100x100. They get scaled down to 70x70 in the forum though, because it looks better with the myBB default layout (Username and avatar on top of the post.)
By the way, in myBB you can switch to a clasic layout - Username and avatar on the side of the post. To do this go to your User Control Panel -> Edit Options -> Thread View Options and Enable Display posts in classic mode.
Attachment Quota.
It needs to be increased. But it can't be unlimited (even though hosting is not the issue). At some point you'll have to use those hosting services. It will be increased for users with 20+ posts.

RE: Avatar and Attachments size limits
See, the way Comodo forums does it (though they probably have more money to spend) is to let each person have 20MB per post. Fill it up with lots of little pictures, or a few big ones, or whatever. Any reason why this wouldn't work?
Of course, I've just been at Comodo forums for so long that I pick at different things. I usually prefer SMF.
BTW...thanks for the thread split.

RE: Avatar and Attachments size limits
If everyone would use those 20 MB / post with pictures, a single page won't load for most users.
Note: Attachment Quota and the size of your attachments in one post are two different things. The Attachment Quota is the maximum amount of storage a member of a group may use for attachments.
Jack has the final word on the quota but IMO it should not be unlimited for all users because it is not needed.
Size of your attachments in one post:
Although this is configurable in myBB settings, the maximum upload size, also depends on the web server configuration. Currently, the following PHP limits apply: Upload Max File Size: 8M and Max Post Size: 8M. These are php.ini directives, to change them I think that Jack needs to contact the hosting support. So even if he allows you to upload 20MB/post in myBB settings, you'll get an error.
Big uploads over plain HTTP POST can be a pain. So it makes no sense in offering the possibility to upload a big file if the upload will fail.

RE: Avatar and Attachments size limits
Oh, I forgot to say that only a thumbnail loads...you have to click for the original.. And people rarely fill all 20MB.
And why shouldn't it? We have "all you can eat" posting allowed. You mods/admins can moderate posts. Just make that people aren't going overboard on uploading files. Besides, you have to register to see attachments, right (at least it is that way for most forums)? So people can't just use this site to send files to their friends or host them, etc.
Of course, I don't mean that we should be able to, or that it would be reasonable to upload huge files. If that was needed, you would use some dedicated file sharing services (or torrents). However, it is slightly annoying to go to TinyPic to upload pictures and screenshots.
If the host (ipvhost?) is setting those PHP limits, I guess you can't do that much. Anyway, people probably won't need to upload 8MB files much. Anything about 3MB is good...especially compared to 30KB.

Yes, 30KB is annoying. Besides that is the maximum amount of storage a member can get.
