Flood controls for Aurora communities
With Khoros, there are limits on how often people are allowed to post, upload images, videos, and attachments, tag content, send private messages, and other community actions before triggering flood controls. Flood controls are in place to help combat potential spam. Note: Those with the Administrator and Moderator role are exempt from flood control restrictions; these thresholds affect only regular members. The following table lists the default flood rate settings for various actions performed by the member within a specified period of time. Actions Flood Controls Post content A member can't post more than: 3 posts in 30 seconds 15 posts in 10 minutes 50 posts in an hour Send Private Messages A member can't send more than: 1 private message in 30 seconds 5 private messages in 10 minutes 20 private messages in an hour Upload Images A member can't upload more than: 100 images at a time 1000 images per day 1000 images in the community Upload Videos A member can’t upload more than 50 videos per day in the community.

Throughout the Aurora community, you’ll find many different features that support images, such as page templates, ranks, and badges. Below, you'll find required and/or recommended sizes and file types for various features. Avatars Admins: SVG, JPG, or PNG format Square image required Minimum recommended dimensions: 300px square Badges PNG or SVG format Minimum recommended dimensions: 240 px square Custom fonts TTF, WOFF, or WOFF2 format Favicon PNG format Minimum dimensions: 512 px square Hero banner image JPG or PNG format Maximum recommended size: 2000 x 600 px or a similar ratio An image without text or logos is best; the hero area is designed responsively and the visible area may change based on viewport. Logo PNG or SVG format Size is flexible; you can update Logo Height within Designer > Page Templates > Header & Footer. Content images Blog banner images Otherwise, use a large, quality image and it will be resized for you. JPG or PNG Recommended dimensions: 800 x 500px Post images JPG or PNG Member has a choice on size; image will be resized on upload. Place avatars SVG format 400px square Ranks PNG or SVG format Uploaded images are converted to 16 pixels in height and up to 100 pixels in width wherever they appear in the community (square images will be 16 px by 16 px). Note: Your image will be scaled to fit the supported dimensions, so we don’t recommend using a really tall image as it will be difficult to see when it’s scaled to 16 pixels high.Take a tour of Aurora
