    Hi all,
    I am new to EE and have a client who needs to have a password protected discussion forum of all his employees to be able to post comments on designs he posts. He needs to post at least 3 to 4 photos (jpeg) at a time in one message and the total file sizes are usually 500kb or larger for each photo. He then wants his employees to post their opinions and comments about the photos he posted. I cannot find anything in EE that allows me to do this. The attach files option is not going to work because it only allows posts under 200kb and this will not work at all.  Any ideas how to provide this with EE or do I have to use a different discussion forum system?

    You could possibly just use a channel and comments vs. the discussion forum….

    I can only speak for EE 1.X, but the attachments size and amounts of them can be set in the preferences! Where do you see the hard coded limit of 200KB? I allowed much more in my forums.
