indeed. I was trying out several different settings.
I don't have access to the php.ini file since I don't own all the server, just a segment (with unlimited serverspace, though). But if necessary I can override it by defining my own settings for my segment in a special file.

Both on the old board and on TerranBBS (hosted on my domain as well) I was able to upload a 2.9 MB file even though the settings on both boards say 512 kB. I tried it with the identical settings and the identical image on all three boards.
I even made an attempt with 2 different browsers in case it was simply a browser malfunction.
It must be some minor difference in the board settings here that I haven't found yet.


My diabetician is a chocoholic himself and allows me 4 pieces of chocolate a day :) I did overstep that pretty badly this weekend but as my last HbA1c was only 4.3 % I think I can afford it - it'll level out to 5% if I hold back a bit the next month.

Check your PHP error log (if you have access). If PHP won't allow it, the board settings don't matter.
Similarly the board settings on those other (IIRC, older) boards may be changing a directive that is now obsolete/ignored.

PHP errors may also be indirectly indicated by errors noted in your [local instance] webserver log, which you should have access to.
