I'm trying to post pics to my build thread and I get the message that I've exceeded my global limit and need to remove some of my attachments from storage. But when I go to "Manage attachments" I can't find any way to delete attachments. BTW, I've got 3.69M on file but it says I've got unlimited space available. Anybody got a clue they can lend me?

That unlimited "space message available" is a lie. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
You're limited in the the total file space per post. Reduce the image sizes or reduce the number of images per post. In other words, if you're trying to put 5 images in one post, reduce that number to 3 and post the other 2 in another post (in the same thread of coarse). Resizing your pics to 800x600 and reducing the overall file size is really the best solution. Humor me please and read this thread eh? I like to think the time I spend doing threads like this isn't totally wasted. Link to Adding Pictures to Your Post thread in the FAQ forum |

We're talking about posting images on this web forum. It doesn't require monster image sizes. You can resize an image to post on a web forum and still have an image in the original size to use as a background or desktop image on your box. I always downsize pics when posting on them on any web forum or sending them in an email. Common courtesy to the web admin, users with slow connections or the email recipient. |
