Do you guys just store user uploaded images/files in the server or in external service like Amazon S3? 

 

If a forum member upload HD images or big files, thats going to hurt the server.

The data is stored on the server, not on external services.

You can limit the uploaded file size using the "Maximum upload file size" option. It's located in the "Posting & Editor Settings" tab in each board settings section.

@sofy That's helpful. Thank you. Just wondering if it possible to send user uploads to my Amazon S3 bucket.
