I believe you can only attach image files???

[ctvu]

Thanks for your reply.
That is not true Kev. Because I've just received an attachment i.e. doc. file.

It wasnt actually Kev who wrote that msg, he is at Aquarama.

.doc files can only be attached to select areas of the site for security reasons.

Hi Proteus

I don't get it, sorry for my stupid. What do u mean by select area? So some one can PM me and attach a doc. file but me. Is it what you meant?

[Proteus]

In relation to PM's it is the same for all users...

down the track we will probably change this, to images only, as it reduces the risk of nasties getting in.

Mine is only 4 kB, and it keeps saying

" Sorry, but the maximum filesize for all Attachments in your Private Message Folder has been reached. Please delete some of your received/sent Attachments. "

I believe that I don't have any attachment letf in my mail box.
Thanks

That includes all images you have posted, attachments that are in sent & recieved PM's etc

I would be guessing you are at the max of your limit.

I will look into it more tonight and try to increase your attachment space (cant do it now, have to go to work)

[ctvu]

Hi Proteus

That makes sense. Pls Thanks

ctvu

[Proteus]

it should be ok now... so long as the file format is compliant

(I have increased your attachment quota)

[ctvu]

Hi Proteus

Much appreciated. Anyway I am trying to do good thing to this forum.

I just tried again to send a doc. file to LR but the same message. Some thing wrong with me ???

[Proteus]

there must be something wrong with the file type.

maybe test it with a basic image file...

[ctvu]

I wrote this in Microsoft word 2003 and only 4 Kb. Ok let me try to send you a image file.

[ctvu]

image file can not go either :)

[Proteus]

have sent you a test PM

please save the file, then send it back as a test

[ctvu]

It must be some thing with me :( because i can receive image file, doc. file and your file pdf. And I just did what you told me to do and here is the message

The Attachment is too big.
Max Size: 128 KB

There is your answer...

you need to delete some old PM's, or move them to your saved folder...

:wink:

That is what I have done since I got this problem on Fri.
Thanks

[Proteus]

is it working now?

[ctvu]

NO :x :( :( :cry: :cry: :cry:

[Proteus]

I have just tried sending an attachment to myself from a test id, and it worked no problem...

I am at a loss as to what is going on... you must have some attachments in your message area which are max'ing your limit out (I have just increased it again)

[Proteus]

I can only find 4 attachments under your ID

Pacific Discus-Quotation.doc
PP pair.jpg
120_2085.JPG
live-import-list.pdf

I have just increased your limits again, maybe try logging out, logging back in, or hitting refresh

[ctvu]

Phhuu! Thank so much at last we got it through. BTW I found only 2 attachment in my mail box i.e. Pacific Discus-Quotation.doc; live-import-list.pd.

ctvu

[Proteus]

the other attachments are in posts on the forums

glad it finally worked for you

[ctvu]

Oh Ok I see. So It must be my qouta too low.
