    Do we need to use a photo hosting site to download images. I was trying to download a image from my computer and it said file was too large.

    There are, and will be, limits for file size. I am not sure if they are configured correctly ATM.

    I made it too. Though on my phone I have to use the address provided on the facebook page to get on the site for some reason even after Ive cleared all cache and history.

    I moved this thread to the website forum

    Right now the max attachment size is 1MB, but I might be able to bump it to 2MB. Usually that is the limit for PHP as anything larger can cause issues on upload.

    I use an image resizer called irfanview to downsize all my hi-res pics before uploading them.

    Later this week I will open up the Media Center which is basically like Photobucket, but it's ours

    I updated the settings to allow for 2MB attachments. Also I disabled the Flash uploader, that can also cause an issue, so I'll have to test that setting out to make sure it's working right. That means you will have to upload one attachment at a time for now.

    I've re-enabled the flash uploader after testing it. You can now attach multiple images all at once, but they must all be less than 2048kb (2MB) or else it will tell you they are too large
