Solved: Attachment size limit
I was wondering if it might be possible to increase the size limit on attachments, especially for .txt files.

The current limit is 500kb and it is becoming increasingly necessary to have longer logs/results in the malware removal forum to keep up with all the new ways malware is hiding on people's systems. That limit is reached quite easily, especially if I asked for more than one log file.

I've had to point users to another website where they can upload their files for free, but the ads and popups on those kinds of sites make it seem as though I'm suggesting they go to a "adware" supported website to get their malware problems fixed. I recently came across a better free solution ( http://drop.io ) but I think it would be so much better if we can keep the attachments local.

I would have them just post the results as a reply, but the character limit is also very low there as well, and the possibility exists that users will miss some lines in the results if they try to break it up to get around that.

If it's is a problem, would it be possible to increase the limit on that forum alone?
