Also when visiting your forum permissions.
There should be a note to give you a hint on the max file size allowed.
Per the php.ini file which is something you would need to change in your cpanel if allowed.
UBB only follows the php.ini setting for this feature.
For example from another site in forum permissions.
Max file attachment size
If file attachments are enabled in the forum, this limits the maximum number of bytes for each file attachment.
• Max size (upload_max_filesize) set in your php.ini is 5368709120 bytes (5G). You may not exceed this size.
• You may use shorthand byte values: K (Kilo), M (Mega).
1K = 1,024 Bytes
1M = 1,048,576 Bytes
• You may use decimal places such as 0.5M, to specify half of a MegaByte.
• Do not use commas.
So in this case the max file attachment is 5GB
So you would enter anything equal to or less than
5368709120
If you enter a higher number than 5GB then php.ini will not allow it not UBB
Remember that also the max post size is the sum of all the attachments.
Meaning if you allow 5 gb attachments and twenty of them a member could exceed the max post size.
but if they post 1GB files then they could reach 20 GB
It is just something you need to juggle around.
