MySQL needs more memory, this is controlled from the MySQL configuration file, not the vB AdminCP.

Contact your host if you need assistence with this.

I contacted them this is the error

MySQL Error: Got a packet bigger than max allowed
Error Number:1153

Here was there response

I have addressed this to the server administrators and since the software for the forum is not ours and is vbulletin. As for the avatars, you may need to check their support forums and documentations as it could be a php_ini file that needs to be configured.

This error happens with any avatar over a couple megs and also .pdf files over a couple megs

Any suggestions???

This is not a memory issue with mysql, but a packet size error.

/etc/my.cnf
max_allowed_packet =

If you do not have root access to the server, the host would need to change that setting and allow a large packet.

You could cheat i guess and store your avatars & attachments in the file system, change the storage type for avatars & attachments in the admincp.

How do you allow a larger size packet???

I want everyone to be able to upload larger pdf's and files. Thanks for your help.
