Increased Attachment Size Limits for Supporters and Sponsors

[Robbie]

In an effort to provide an incentive to those who have decided to support the Guild in an above and beyond kind of way by subscribing to our sponsor or supporter level donation system, I am increasing the file attachment upload size limits. Below I'm listing the current settings and showing what has gone up a little for everyone, and then below that is the limits for supporters and sponsors.

It should be noted that really large files that have a LOT of pixels may crash the thumbnail generator, if this happens to you, please post in the Site Tech Support forum and let me know.

Thanks for this, Robbie. I know many people have been talking for a while about problems with the upload size limitation, so hopefully this will address it ... and maybe give a boost to covering the site's running costs too.

Here's a quick overview:

Thanks for making up that graphic, Tilt. That's a handy reference.

Ok, I see Guild Supporter, and Guild Sponsor, but I also see ChickPea has the title Guild Donor under her name. What is that all about?

[Diamond]

She gave a kidney to the Guild. Or was it a liver?

[tilt]

@Diamond *lol* the guild can never have to many livers ... they are good with a nice Chianti.

The Guild donor is one who have made a one-time donation (i.e. not a monthly payment)

[Tonnichiwa]

Hehe, ok, thanks guys!

[ChickPea]

Haha, yes, I often donate body parts to web sites I like. It's OK because... *whispers* ... I can grow them back ... mwahahaha!

Feel free to donate your own vital organs. Or some booze for CL's Christmas party (cos Diamond can really put it away). Or even some cold hard cash!

Hi guys, just letting you know that I tried to upload a PNG file that is 14.75 MB and the site said it is too big, but I thought I could go all the way to 15. Has this changed?
