Uploading pictures in threads-

[Netwit2008]

I've been playing several of the forum games, started one called Gif Wars. Of course in that one there is a lot of posting of images. I started getting this error message about a week or so ago:

 

Used 5MB of your 4.88MB global upload quota (Max. single file size: 2MB)

 

I Im'd Bben about it, he wasn't familiar with it either and suggested I post it here. I'm wondering is this a glitch in the new board, or if it's a true limit, does it expire or what.

 

Any advice would be appreciated!

 

Thanks :smile:

It's a global limit on the amount of stuff you upload to the forums to prevent exploitation. There's only so much hard-drive space. I suggest you use an external image host if you're going to be posting a lot of images to the forums.

Ok, thanks Robin, that makes sense. I just hadn't seen that one before so it threw me off.

 

If I delete or resize some of my currently posted images, would that bring me back under the limit as someone suggested? I'm assuming that once you reach this limit, it doesn't expire or reset.

 

I appreciate the fast reply.

Deleting past attachements, or reuploading them as smaller variants should free up some space.

Ok, thanks again for getting back to me so quickly. :thumbsup:
