O.P. Is there a maximum attachment size on MyBB forums?
What the title says :P

And if there is, is there a workaround to make that bigger?

Thanks :)

RE: Is there a maximum attachment size on MyBB forums?
Yes, the maximum attachment size depends on the user group.

You can change the attachment size for a certain user group by following the steps below:

Admin CP > 'Users & Groups' Tab >  Groups > Click the name of the usergroup that you want to increase the attachment size of > 'Forums and Posts' tab > Scroll down to "Attachment Options" > In the box under "Attachment Quota:" insert the size you want the usergroup to be limited to uploading in KB or set it to 0 for no limit.

Finally click 'Save User Group'.

Sidenote: You may want to post any future MyBB questions over at the official MyBB Forums, http://community.mybboard.net/ - we can assist you better there.

Regards,
Chris.

Besides what Cris. said the maximum upload size will also depend on the web server configuration. In Apache it is usually set to 8MB by default.

Well what i meant was the actual limit to the filesize, not dependant on user groups. I think i found that the maximum upload size php can handle is like 7 or 8 mb, so i was wondering if there was a workaround for this?

You can set higher values, but keep in mind big uploads over plain HTTP POST can be a pain. There usually isn't a reliable progress bar and there's no resume on failure.

Take a look at http://blog.jc21.com/2007-05-03/change-the-maximu...oad-size-with-php/ on how to increase the maximum upload size in PHP/Apache. Some hosters may be limiting you from increasing these values.
