Changes to the photo attachment function

[fishfreek]

Attention: Today we have made a change in how photos can be uploaded to the forum. From this point forward the maximum file size will be 100KB vs the old limit of 125KB.

Also, Each user has a 1MB photo upload limit. Once you reach this limit you will not be able to upload any more photos until you have removed some of your old uploads. If you have a photo gallery please try to not upload the images twice. Once to the photo gallery and then a second time to the forums. In those cases you should link the image from your gallery into your post using the

tags.

At any time you can check how close you are to your upload quota by visiting your profile page accessible from the Memberlist. You should see a bar chart showing how many KB you have uploaded and what % that is of your quota. Click on the link below that chart that says "User Attachment Control Panel". You will then see all of the attachments that you have added. You can view them and select the ones you with to remove.

These changes are being made to maximize our server space for additional upgrades and features we have planned to come along shortly.

Well, I was at 1.6 somin MB, now i am at .6 MB so if you see a post refering to a picture, and its just not there, now you know why.

Just a note. Obviously making images as small as possible before uploading allows more photos to be posted within your quota.

If they are all at the maximum size of 100KB you can in theory get about about 10 photos attached. But if they are on average 50KB then that number goes up to 20.
