3. Media Settings:
a. Legal Extensions (File Types). Set the file types that are allowed to be uploaded through the media manager.
b. Maximum Size (in bytes). The maximum size of a file that can be uploaded, measured in bytes. The default setting is 10,000,000 (10 megabytes). Set to 0 for no limit.
c. Path to Media Folder. You can create a new folder for the Media folder, but do not delete or move the default "images" folder from the webserver because this folder is used as the parent folder for banners, M_images, etc.
d. Path to Image Folder. The folder where images used in content articles are stored. Note: If you change this, do not delete the default "images/stories".
e. Restrict Uploads. When set to yes, any users below the level of Manager can upload only image type files.
f. Minimum User Level for Media Manager. Select the user level that can use the Media Manager from the front end of the website.

i. Ignored Extensions. List file types which should not be included in MIME checking and upload restrictions.
j. Legal MIME Types. The list of MIME types that are allowed for uploading via the Media Manager.
