    When did we institute a 1 MB limit for everyone, including Admins, and why?

    First I've heard of it. Might have more to do with the webhost than WF policy, tho. Or maybe someone bumped a setting without realizing it?

    I vaguely remember setting a 1 MB limit for BMPs because larger ones tended to break the file converter.

    However, is this such a bad thing? They're attachments, not hard drives.

    The problem is that I'm getting an error trying to attach a 60kB JPEG because that puts me over a total of 1 MB in attachments.

    Oh, a total of 1 MB?

    Nope, never set that.

    I think the salient question is can it be undone?

    And oddly, per the AdminCP, every usergroup is set to having no limit on the total attachment size.
