If the Maximum file size has been set in ACP then the Maximum filesize per attachment is shown prior to upload any file. Tested onStokestack wrote: ↑Sat Oct 09, 2021 2:16 am 1. The attachments pane that's presented when composing a post doesn't say what the size limit is for attachments, nor does the error message that it presents after you upload one. So attaching stuff is a tedious trial-&-error process.

.That's also by design, no need to file a bug since has been already discussed.Stokestack wrote: ↑Sat Oct 09, 2021 2:16 am If the attachments quota for the forum has been reached, attachment functionality is still enabled. This wastes users' time as they navigate to files and upload them, instead of simply displaying a message saying that attachments are disabled (and why).
The most obvious reason is: attachments can also be deleted again, which can also happen while someone else wants to upload. You can post as idea (feature request) a behaviour that is more sophisticated: a setting with which the board automatically disallows uploading attachment once a quota has been reached, and another setting with which the board automatically allows uploading attachment once one has been deleted.3Di wrote: ↑Sat Oct 09, 2021 4:45 amThat's also by designStokestack wrote: ↑Sat Oct 09, 2021 2:16 am If the attachments quota for the forum has been reached, attachment functionality is still enabled.
It would not be quite that simple as you would have to cater for the situation where the quota has not been reached but the uploading of an attachment is larger than the space available.
As I said, has been discussed already while fixing some bit in phpBB 3.3.4AmigoJack wrote: ↑Sat Oct 09, 2021 11:49 amThe most obvious reason is: attachments can also be deleted again, which can also happen while someone else wants to upload.

Doesn't the first one already happen? How else does the software disallow uploading based on a quota? As for the second, isn't that obvious? Why would a quota-based upload prohibition stay in effect if the media that were uploaded to meet it were deleted? That's like disabling a user's E-mail account for hitting its quota and then keeping it disabled even after he deletes all old messages.You can post as idea (feature request) a behaviour that is more sophisticated: a setting with which the board automatically disallows uploading attachment once a quota has been reached, and another setting with which the board automatically allows uploading attachment once one has been deleted.
AFAIR the filesize limit display has been introduced after phpBB 3.3.1Stokestack wrote: ↑Sat Oct 09, 2021 10:07 pm Apparently the aforementioned site is not behaving as expected. This is the sequence that occurs; note the lack of any size limit being mentioned, despite the fact that there's obviously one in place
There is a global setting in the ACP for max space allowed for all attachments. You would use this to insure you don't have some idiot uploading 1000's of files blowing through your available hosting space. You can use a very generous setting but below your available hosted disk quota. Uploads would still be allowed since there will inevitably always be some space left but you could disable uploads when the allocated space drops below the max file size. A warning in the ACP for the admin when they were getting within 10% of the max space would be nice.Stokestack wrote: ↑Sat Oct 09, 2021 10:07 pm Doesn't the first one already happen?
