Hi,
Well, this is confusing. I'm attaching files to a DM and the info/instructions says this "
If you wish to attach one or more files enter the details below. You may also attach files by dragging and dropping them in the message box.
Maximum filesize per attachment: 4 MiB.
but I get an error which says the file size can't be more than 256kb. The four files I want to attach are less than the 4MiB, but are bigger than the 256kb. Obviously one of these is wrong. Maybe correcting them to match would be a help.
You can blame Mr. Suburban for my being here. The thing about quotes on the internet is you can not confirm their validity. -- Abraham Lincoln All steels are equal if you can't keep them sharp. -- Jeff B.
Glad you brought this up! I tried to send a file less than 256k yesterday and it wouldn't take it. It seems the instructions/rules for attachments are different for Pm's than posting in forum topics, with Pm's being limited to less than 256k. Below is a screenshot of my error attempting to do this.
Can we send these files via regular email? of course but that defeats the purpose of a PM.
Oh dear! Both messages are wrong. Can we even attach files to a DM?

What is a DM?
Sir Jeff's answer is a good one to this question. Sorry, I went down a rabbit hole this more reading on reddit Malicious Compliance. My bad. Mea culpa.

DM = Direct message, just another term for PM/Private message.
Unfortunately nothing I can do here as a mod, I don't have the proper permissions. This fix will be up to Mark to handle.
On reddit it is called "chat" and another forum they are called "conversations". Seems everyone wants to "personalize" their invention of the wheel. Ugh.
Thank you Sir Jeff for answering Mr. Z's question. And for checking to see if you could fix it.
