Yes, I would be VERY intersted on making the size configurable. This is almost excatly what I have been looking for. Is there any way to maybe have it show the size of the attachment in the message itself right next to the word "Attachment"? Like in kb size?

This hack alters the attachment view property. If the size of the attached
image is larger than a specified size, the attachment will show up as a
hyperlink as opposed to the actual image.

The size limit for the time being is hardcoded at 50000. I know I should
have made it configurable. My apologies. I will work on it if anyone is
interested.

This hack was requested by Fzale.

Here are the instructions on how to implement it.

In admin/functions.php, look for the following text:

PHP Code:

        if ($post[attachmentid]!=0 and $post[attachmentvisible]) {
                $post[attachmentextension]=strtolower(getextension($post[filename]));
                if ($post[attachmentextension]=="gif" or $post[attachmentextension]=="jpg" or $post[attachmentextension]=="jpeg" or $post[attac\
hmentextension]=="jpe" or $post[attachmentextension]=="png") {
                        if (($viewattachedimages) and ($bbuserinfo[userid]==0 or $bbuserinfo[showimages])) {
                                eval("\$post[attachment] = \"".gettemplate("postbit_attachmentimage")."\";");
                        } else {
                                eval("\$post[attachment] = \"".gettemplate("postbit_attachment")."\";");
                        }
                } else {
                        eval("\$post[attachment] = \"".gettemplate("postbit_attachment")."\";");
                }
        } else {
                $post[attachment]="";
        } 


And replace it with the following:

PHP Code:

//
// Attachment size hack
//
                        global $DB_site;
                        $attachinfo=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT LENGTH(filedata) as ATTLEN from attachment where attachmentid = '$post[attachmentid]'");
                        if($attachinfo[ATTLEN] > 50000) {
                                $ok_to_watch=0;
                        }
                        else {
                                $ok_to_watch=1;
                        }
                        if (($ok_to_watch) and ($viewattachedimages) and ($bbuserinfo[userid]==0 or $bbuserinfo[showimages])) {
                                eval("\$post[attachment] = \"".gettemplate("postbit_attachmentimage")."\";");
                        } else {
                                eval("\$post[attachment] = \"".gettemplate("postbit_attachment")."\";");
                        }
                } else {
                        eval("\$post[attachment] = \"".gettemplate("postbit_attachment")."\";");
                }
        } else {
                $post[attachment]="";
        } 


Your feedback will be appreciated.
