Hi guys,
I have tried to upload a couple screenshots, but then it showed me that I am not able to upload more as 5 files at once.
> Sorry, you can only upload 5 files at a time.
So far as I remember was it possible to upload more files at the same time before.
Did this change with one of the last recent updates?
I found out, that it is the `simultaneous uploads` option which creates this limit, but this option setting is also limited to a maximum of 20.
Why is it actually not possible to set the `simultaneous uploads` option higher as 20?
Thanks
Michael

Any idea how to change that value to more than 20?
So far I remember was there no (or a much higher) limitation before.

Set it to 0 for unlimited. 😉
