Forum Attachments

[JAFisher44]

The storage allocated for forum attachments is exhausted. At the moment there is nothing I can do about it. Due to a recent update of the proboards software all of my Admin access was reset to default settings, which means I have minimum possible Admin access at the moment. This means that I currently have no access to the attachments settings. I have emailed Brad about it and I have no doubt that he will restore my access when he has time.

This has, however, brought attachments to my attention. Going forward I am going to ask all forum members to host images that they would like to include in their posts on off-site image hosting spaces. This seems to be the most fair option for everyone as it lets each individual member be responsible for their own image storage. Attachment space on the forum, as we all know now, is limited and in the event that it is full it falls to me to start removing attachments to make room for new content. This could possibly create conflict when someone returns to find their images are no longer available. I don't want to have to remove member's images and if they are hosted externally this will never have to happen.

If anyone has any concerns feel free to let me know here in this thread or by pm.

Will do!
I've been going through my older posts and removing images hosted on the forum.

I didn't even know you could do that!

I think I've got all my images moved from Photobucket to Postimage.org on all my posts.

I didn't know either.

All my images are currently hosted by Botophucket.

I had no idea either until I tried to post a pdf. At least now we can keep that in mind when posting files and pictures.

I try to post mine in the post and really it is no big deal if mine have to be removed I have a computer I built just to hold my web design graphics and any other graphics so I have copies. However I know what it is like to go and not find graphics where I expect them. Thanks for the heads up!
