File Upload Size Validation

Hi, first off I’d like to say the plugin is awesome! I just have an issue (which may not be related to the plugin itself) with the file upload limit validation reporting.

I have changed file size validation to 6MB, down from the default 25MB. Here is the use cases as it stands now:
1,2,3,4,5,6MB files go through perfectly and show the success message.
7MB displays the error message like expected.
8MB and 9MB files I have tested do not display the error message, they instead upload completely and the page refreshes with the form fields empty, no success message either and the files are not actually uploaded to the server and no emails are sent out. It is like the plugin decides to quit and falls back to a page refresh.

I’m glad that it does work with the appropriate file sizes, but many users do not read the all caps “MAX FILESIZE ALLOWED IS 6MB” and will try to upload a larger file and see that it appears to be successful and think we now have their file.

I say this may or may not be related to the plugin, because in my php.ini post_max_size is set to 8MB, which I cannot change. We have GoDaddy VPS linux and there are 3 php.ini files, 2 of which I cannot edit with my ftp user, and my ssh user sees a different php.ini file which I would consider the master ini file (the one with all of the comments) but when I edit that file, the information displayed on my phpinfo page does not reflect the changes. And GoDaddy will most likely not help me to be able to change that. As I’ve had their rep tell me before that because we have the VPS hosting, they do not provide server support like that; it’s up to us to manage the server.
