As I indicated a little while ago I'm going to make some changes to the way attachments to posts are stored.
Since the start of K9 there has been no restriction on the amount of space used by members attachments. The attachment size for each post has been limited but never the overall space. This has resulted in a very large store of old pictures etc. that has now become impossible to effectively manage.
So the new settings will give every user a 5Mb global limit of stored attachments. To offset this I've already increased the maximum attachments per post from 75Kb to 300Kb. Once I make the change everyone's existing attachments come under this control.
If you have less than 5Mb of stored attachments there will be no immediate difference - you will get the opportunity to delete old attachments and manage your attachments but you will see no difference until you have a total of 5Mb stored. However, if you already have more than 5Mb of stored attachments you will not be able to add any further attachments until you have removed old attachments and brought your global attachments to under 5Mb.
Hope that makes sense :thumbsup: I expect it will all become clear once I make the change. This functionality has been available in the software for a while but it's untested on K9 & I cannot really test it without actually making the change... so I expect there will be a few problems.
I'll make the change in a few days.
