Maximum Number of Allowed File Uploads Exceeded

[drew@odmart.com]

I get this error now ( as do all my users) when attempting to upload. I've looked for a setting around this and can't find one. Help?

vB ACP -> PhotoPlog -> Usergroup Manager -> Edit Usergroup -> Go -> PhotoPlog Permissions -> Maximum File Limit

I set it to 10000 (was 100) - still no dice.

Are your users in any secondary usergroup that has a blank or zero for the limit?

I just checked, doesn't seem to be the case. Still no worky.

Run the following query from say phpMyAdmin, replacing vb_ with your vB table prefix:
Content visible to registered users only.
What are the results?

Set the usergroups 9 and 10 to have say 100 as their Maximum File Limit, and use the yes/no options to set upload and other permissions. Zero for Maximum File Limit is like a buzzkill, overriding the other permission, but if you change the zero to a number larger than zero, the greater permission should then apply.

EDIT: the Lite version treats zero as zero, but vB treats zero as unlimited, so this is why the zero is a buzz kill in the Lite version. In order to handle category level permissions, the Pro version now treats zero as unlimited.
