Post Attachments

I've disabled the attachment feature...at least for now. We met our max. I just got a new hosting plan that should be bigger but I need to figure out how much more space I can allow. By disabling the attachment option it keeps people from trying to attach something then getting an annoying message telling them it's full after waiting on an upload.

I must say it did surprise me that attachments were allowed on a privately funded forum as they are often very storage intensive. How big is the upload folder as an absolute and as a percentage of the site size?
