Some minor changes to the file upload feature:

- Timeout is set to 5 minutes (was previously 90 seconds)
- Max upload size is now 10MB (but considering our problems with small files, the practical limit is probably still around 200kB)
- Files are no longer renamed when uploaded. This means that even if you don't get a response from the upload page, you can try to refer to your picture in a post. The url will be uploaded/<username>/<filename>
Replace <username> with your username and <filename> with the name of your file. If your username has spaces in it, replace each space with %20. Clear as mud?

Please report all problems in this thread.

Edit: Never mind - I got it after copying an image link from one of my other posts. The instructions above are missing the /forum/ part of the URL string.

Borge,

I tried to upload today a few pictures. Around 200kB was not any success (180 - 210kB).
BTW, I have seen in other forum-threads that possible to uplode files with more than 250kB - what can be te reason?

If this small problem would be solved it would be appreciated!

Thanks for all!

The forum upload add-in is using a small asp routing to upload the file and it just doesn't work very well. Especially with slow connections from remote sites, it often just sits there doing nothing.Partly the upload applications is a bit to simple with no error checking, partly 1and1's servers are very slow and the combination is that upload sometimes sometimes (a bit too often) fails.

Thank you for the explanation!

Perhaps the smaller file size can help a bit...

cheers
