File size limits

I just tried to attach a pdf file to a message showing the template I used for my underquilt. The file is only about 28 kB, but it said it was too big. Is there any particular reason for the 19.5 kB limit or can it be changed (along with the file size limit for png files, maybe?). Should I stick it in a zip file?

Thanks.

sorry, i can't answer that question. maybe some of the others can.

I don't know why the forum file size is set low. Perhaps it's to save disk space.

PM me and I'll host any files you need to link here.

Thank you angrysparrow. I will try to put it in a zip file first.

I just checked the vBulletin documentation. There is an attachment manager that should let an administrator simply enter the max. file size for each extension. Does JJ have to do that?
