LDM gets its limits in several ways, but I'm surprised that you are finding that the admin limits are smaller than regular users:

a) The 'master switches' are the php.ini settings *post_max_size* and *upload_max_filesize*. You can't exceed these values.

b) For vb admins, LDM allows uploads up to the smaller of those two values

c) For other users, LDM sets the maximum size on a per filetype basis by looking up the max size setting in the vb attachments table

d) If you've set LDM/admin/settings/upload_maxspace, and the total uploads are close to that limit, filesize is further reduced.

Concerning thread creation, have you set LDM/admin settings/autocreate_username? There's a bug in version 2.2.9-post1 with that setting, fixed in 2.2.9-post3. I think things work ok if you leave the setting blank.
