    Choose FileUPLOAD


    it says Max 100 kB, but I uploaded a 11 MB file.

    Didn't check the code, but probably the file dimensions are checked before the file size. Not really shure if you could consider this a bug. Fact is, the height of the image was too small, therefore the error message was correct.

    And regarding the attachments, they are not limited in image dimensions, only in file size. So, filesize is checked right away and the file is considered as too big correctly.

    As I said, the dimensions of that file were below the threshold. This is totally independent from the file size, which is indeed too large. But as I said, probably the system checks the dimensions first, recognized the height being below the limit and exits there without further checking the file size.

    Hi

    If you stay under the 100 Kilobytes you're safe. If you are above the 100 Kilobytes the avatar might or might not fit. While the warning is not 100% accurate in every case the inaccuracy is not at the expense of the user.

    What are the odds of not being "safe" ? 1 in 1000 ?

    Just mentioning restrictions like file size likely reduces avatar uploading.

    I see almost no point mentioning it other than protecting against the 1/1000.
