I have read the docs about the max upload size that can be selected is controlled via the host, I am on your recommended host. In the slate skin the max I can select is 128mb but in my php it says max is 512mb but that value is not showing in my max file size selection ?

Your max upload will be limited to 1/4 the size of the max allowed upload and memory limit as set in the php.ini - this allows for "overhead" when Jamroom needs to run conversions on your media (which can eat up a lot of RAM).

Hope this helps!

Thanks Brian.
I changed the sizes in the php.ini file in the public html but not seeing the changes in the upload choice.

You might need to restart your server. I think 128MB is the max you will get on arvixe shared hosting. Do you need more than that?

Yeah this could be Arvixe overriding it, but make sure you run an Integrity Check as well - it's during an integrity check that the core will "check" the max allowed upload and update it.

Hope this helps!
