I'm trying to attach a 1.8 MB word .docx file to a post, and the forum says it is too large. What am I doing wrong?

Why is 1.8 MB larger than the maximum 8MB?

You didn't mention 8MB in first post...

file does get encoded.. but that only increases size by 1/8th.

perhaps its just blocking docx, (due to all the office based malware)

The forum says 8MB maximum file size, and a maximum of 10 files per post. What it really means to say is 800 KB, discovered through trial and error. Quite a difference, and aggravatingly low.
