I just found out that in addition to the file size limit for uploading images, there also seems to exist a limit to the total number of pixels in an image. When I try to upload images with a file size of less than 3 MB but with more than or close to 25 million pixels, the attachment management menu disappears. So I had to reduce the size (and hence resolution) of the above image to 92% (linear). Did anybody make a similar observation? |

Good point, Tau. I recall that there are file size and image size limits, but I so rarely approach either limit that don't recall much in the way of details. I think they go to the days when many people were on Dialup.
Probably the best thing to do is to ask in "Forum Guide" at the top of the page. --Bill -------------------- |

I think they go to the days when many people were on Dialup. The original limits ( significantly smaller than they are now ) were put in place to dissuade people from using UMSF as a place to host content, and encourage people to use image hosting services like flickr etc etc. Paying for hosting of and backing up a large image repository also has time/bandwidth costs. I've not been a UMSF admin for getting on for a decade so I have no idea what the total hosted content size is on UMSF, what the current server's specs are, or what, if any, steps are taken today to secure that data. Backing up the attachments was many gigabytes in 2010. I would continue to encourage people to put their content elsewhere and use UMSF as a place to discuss content, not host it. |
