Hi guys,
please find below some impressions I got from using this forum and a few suggestions to improve its comfort and usability.
1. What's the size limit for file attachments actually?
From the description I take it it's max. 4 files/post and file size of each attachment
can be max 128KB. That would be a total maximum of 512KB for attachments/post. I tried
to attach 4 images (total 236KB) in this post (http://amp.dascene.net/forum/index.php/topic,11.msg49.html#msg49) but was only allowed to add three of them
(total 168KB). Trying to submit my post the forum displayed a message stating that I
exceeded max. allowed size for attachments. I could not edit my post anymore after and
had to restart from the beginning, which is ~slightly~ suboptimal. ;)
2. Why is the max count/size limit for attachments restricted this low anyway?
IMHO that makes handling of attachments quite uncomfortable, forcing users to do size
management and decide what to attach and what to left out just in order to pass the
size limit check. This in turn probably will lead to situations where users are annoyed
and refuse to attach a particular (if not all) files, which leaves the AMP staff not
receiving certain data and information. For example think of modules which easily
exceed 128KB file size.
3. Currently there is no option to remove attachment slots. If you want to remove a
previously selected attachment you can only do so by deleting the contents of the
attachment slot manually.
4. I would like to be able to upload attachments prior to submitting the post in
order to optionally preview my post including the attachments.
Thank you. :)
