Topic: forum main file size
hi
my forum is on a free server,
the file size limit is 5MB
what can I do if my main file oversizes this limit? can I divide this file into smaller parts?

Re: forum main file size
honestly find a bigger free server?
if you keep the db small then yes.
My stuff or my style might sux, but atleast I'm willing to help when I can.

Re: forum main file size
i have just a few posts and my database is about 1mb in size.
i think punbb is about 1mb in size - give or take.
so if you are going to have a small forum with very little posts and very little users - cause you would have about 3mb of space left.
i dont see anything wrong with that if you have a small forum. if your main forum gets larger you are SOL.
well you could transfer it to annother server later on if you know how to do that.
