File uploading works fine, tried to upload a larger file and got the 106 error.  The file size I want to upload is 854 kb which is 109,312 bytes.  I changed the max filesize in the forum Plupload options to 409,600 bytes.  Still, I get the 106 error? 

I’m uploading a zip file which I have included in my allowed file types.  Any ideas?

You’re certainly not the first one to let me know that 🙂 I thought kb stood for kilobits.  Now I know it means kilobytes. 

Thank you for the free lesson Mr Papa!
