Attachment Upload/download to different server

[Mike Doherty]

Anyone know if it is possible to allow users to upload files to a different server from the one hosting VB/MySQL?

I understand that I would need v3 or hacks to allow saving of attachments...

Is there any way to automatically email the board Admin when new users are waiting to be moderated. At the moment I have to check 5 boards manually every day and its a real pain.

Cheers,...

Fixed it!!!!!!

It turns out that once the PHP and MySQL settings are fixed that IIS may time out the CGI script.

You can fix it by setting the IIS CGI timeout under master...

It'll never happen

The boards doing a very specific job and only has a few users, so these uploads are fine.

PHP timing out

As I mentioned before.......

PHP.INI
max_execution_time = 3600

Thats an hour. And if PHP were timing out, surly I'd see a PHP timeout...

After scouring the forums and making a bunch of mods, I STILL have problems uploading files to my forums.

The problem seems to be a timing issue; Using a fast 10Mb link I can upload file...

POST_MAX_SIZE

You also need to increase POST_MAX_SIZE in php.ini

Email server load

It's basically to monitor the usage of different threads on a new forum thats only got a small, widely distributed user base, so that shouldn't be a problem.

Is it possible to receive an email notification when someone opens and reads a specif thread?

I know this seems a strange thing to do, but it does serve a purpose for us.

Hi,

Does anyone know of a quick way to set up all forums on a board as private to save having to set them all up by hand?

Also, are there any hacks around to allow the upload...
