I've just recently set up a phpBB 3.0 forum for a local non-profit organization. Most registered users will want to frequently post pictures and so on with their forum posts, and originally I disabled attachments for fear that it would contribute to my small 100 MB database size limit set by my web hosting provider.
After asking on the phpBB support forums, apparently the files are actually stored in a folder on the web space storage, and only a reference to the attached file is stored in the database. This means that I will be able to store many pictures and attachments without having to worry about running out of space.

Thanks for this, I always thought it would save into the database too but I never took the time to research into it more.
