What are the acceptable file sizes we are allowed to upload?

I have been trying to add a mod to my map thread and it will not allow the file size.
The manage attachments window says

.mod 47.92 MB And mine is less than 15MB.
Do I need someone to OK it?

No you should be able to upload since you’ve made enough posts I think. It is possible that the forum does not see the file as a .mod file possibly?

Added Dropbox Folder link in my sig.

Not sure if it works, as it will work for me. If some one will try it and let me know.

Madman..


The forums has always given me grief when uploading things.

I think that might be too big for attachments to the forums. I believe it’s limited around 10-12.

You can host on DropBox or Google Drive, and post a link.

One warning is that a MOD that big may cause loading issues, since it sounds like it’s packed with lots of images or large images.

Just a guess but, there might be an overall limit to what a single user can upload in the way of attachments and it is showing what you have left out of that.

I am way beyond that in total.

There's no quota or total assigned to a user. It is just as damned says - the dialog window that lists the file size limits is wrong.
