This is a very small suggestion; I'd like to see a slightly larger file size limit for post and PM attachments. The current limit is 2 MB, which accommodates the majority of PDF articles, but I've been prevented from uploading files twice that were in the 2-3 MB range. Perhaps something between 3-5 MB for members would make sense (or at least in the member's resource section)? I wouldn't anticipate that this would be needed very often, so probably wouldn't increase storage or bandwidth loads to any appreciable degree.

Its to do with the script that the webhost runs. I can try talking to them again.

However, we now have an alternative engine to upload files that should handle large sizes:

let us know how that works

Have you tried zipping the pdf?
