Problem with File Attachment
I want to attach a PDF (3MB) with step-by-step instructions of my rebuild of a Honda Power Steering Pump (as I have done in the past). However, when I tried to upload the PDF file I get an error in the "Manage Attachments" window:
"Upload of file failed"
I have tried from different computers on different days with the same result.
Can anyone help me so that I can upload this write-up?
Thanks!
John

Strange? I'll try to contact Jason - IB Staff that helps us with tech issues on the site.
In the mean time, I'll PM you an e-mail address. Send it to me and let me see if I can attach it to a thread.

Thanks! I sent you the PDF file I am trying to attach. I am wondering if perhaps there is a total quota for cumulative uploads (that I might have reached)? However, the error message does not say that.
Thanks again for the help!

I don't think there is a "quota", if there was i'm sure I would have hit that by now.
I'm thinking - no IT person - this might be a "timeout" issue?
I sent Jason a PM with a link to this thread, haven't heard anything yet.
I tried to load it to this thread and got the same error message.

Sometimes I've had troubles uploading files to other places. Seems like I have more problems with Microsoft IE, and when I have a problem I just launch Firefox instead and it works. (that doesn't mean that I really understand WHY it has a problem...)

Looks like the problem was that the file size was too big (3MB). I split it into two files (each ~1.5MB) and they uploaded fine (See DIY section).
I thought the size had been increased to 5MB... Maybe it is some other limitation on file size.
