Dave Ambrose Posted March 21 Posted March 21 We are starting to get tight on server disk space. I've limited the size of individual attachments (pictures and videos) to 10MB. This should be plenty big for most any picture, and I don't think more than a few users will notice a change. Please let me know if you have problems posting pictures.
Mr mopar Posted March 21 Posted March 21 Did the Photo select go away ? if so this is a pain in the ---- ! 2
NOBLNG Posted March 21 Posted March 21 (edited) Yes I don’t see the photo select button anymore either. It was there two hours ago.😕 Is this an error or is there some new way to post photos? Edited March 21 by NOBLNG
ranma Posted March 21 Posted March 21 No photo select on PM's either????? just a black box with other media in the right corner.
peteski Posted March 21 Posted March 21 (edited) I always resized my photos to no more than 1200 pixels across (way under 1MB, usually less than 500kB in size) and I suspected that we would take up too much space, so and advocated for others to do the same (or have the forum automatically resize the photos). I recall that admins (Dave) reason for allowing large size images was because they might want to use them in the printed magazine articles I always thought that was lame excuse (because even if the photo was resized for the forum, the original author likely still has the high res version which if needed could easily be provided to the magazine's staff). I also didn't realize that the forum allow for video uploads. That is a real space hog. I don't think I ever seen anybody include locally uploaded video in their post. And like others, I no longer have the ability to add images to my posts. Edited March 21 by peteski
stitchdup Posted March 21 Posted March 21 if you use the choose files or drag option in the box below the text you can still add photos.
