I’m working on an import that’s going live on Monday on a [Discourse.org](http://Discourse.org) hosted site. There are some attachments bigger than 102400KB. Is there a way to increase that limit on the development environment so that I can include them?

I’ll give that a shot, but what I think I’m asking is if there’s a a way to increase `get_max_attachment_size`.
Oooh! But it looks like that’s what I needed.
Looks like another feature that should get moved to `base.rb`. 😉

I’ll add it to the list. I’m waiting for my last one ([add users with invalid email addresses by pfaffman · Pull Request #5224 · discourse/discourse · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/5224)) to get pulled in. If someone (other than rubocop) doesn’t like it, I’ll split it up.

Many thanks! I’ve jumped on the bandwagon now and have emacs key bindings in place to check and fix the current buffer with rubocop.
