I just noticed that you can't attach a file or picture to a PM.  Is this the default setting or was there a specific reason for picking that setting?

My guess is: in a regular forum post the file is used by many people. In a PM, it is by just one. Space on the EEVBlog servers is limited, so attachments in PMs are disabled, because they need space, while few people benefit from it. Also frequency.

My best guess is that it stops any possible piracy via the blog and therefore rendering dave being held responsible

Yep. I don't want the forum server filled up with private message attachments, sorry.

I just noticed that i can have max 5 messages in my in/outbox. In 2018 that seems to be reaaaaallllyyyyy low....

I understand that the same logic applies here too (discuss in the boards rather then via PM) but it's still really bad... can't that be higher?
