TJ Hvasta Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 (edited) What do you think of paying a fee, one time or semi-annually (or so) to be able to increase your user attachment space? Knowing that space is always a premium on a server, many on here have already found that to post a picture of something that helps others, you have to kill off something else to free up space, thereby losing the picture that helped someone in another thread. 500k is pretty small. Only other way to post is to have the item hosting somewhere else and put up a link.With 48k remaining.. I'd pay to bump to 5mb attachment space.. even 2mb would be a big help Edited August 6, 2012 by TJ Hvasta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Rise Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 There's a limit to how many pictures you can upload? I haven't uploaded any pics since the forum update. I was going to in the next few days. 500K is really small. If you hit that mark, you have to dump an old pic to make room for the new one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest wbottomley Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 I'll just embed them and pay nothing. I've given enough money and will plan for no more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainyoregonchristmas Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Soooooo.... how do you delete posts that you've posted pics in to save on your user space. I'd hate to be limited to 500k for life... I'm already down to 300k and I've only put in two pics.... Now I can't figure out how to delete them when I am finished. Ideas?

texascop Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Just upload very small pictures, like 5 bytes, and tell everyone to use their imaginations to fill in the rest of the pixels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincerules Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 I just upload the images to either picasa or imgur and embed them into my posts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJ Hvasta Posted August 7, 2012 Author Share Posted August 7, 2012 Rainy, click on your name (top right of screen), choose My Settings, then left side, Manage Attachments, check which ones you want to kill off.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wbottomley Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Damn! I only have one.You have used 438.46K of 500K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spomalley Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 500k is pretty small but when you consider that these forums have 10,000+ members who all have to have that space...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJ Hvasta Posted August 7, 2012 Author Share Posted August 7, 2012 (edited) hence the reason for a stipend to allow for a bump in storage.. besides, most hosting companys start with a minimum of 1GB of storage even at the lowest host level. What's 1GB divided by 10,547 Edited August 7, 2012 by TJ Hvasta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spomalley Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 (edited) By my calculations ...... -0.94k, but I'm probably wrong Edited August 7, 2012 by spomalley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJ Hvasta Posted August 7, 2012 Author Share Posted August 7, 2012 and thats if Dan's hosting plan is only 1GB storage .. One of my websites has 2gb for $44/yr.. Just an idea to be able to pay a stipend for more space.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rickodom Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Just use a image hosting site for various pics... http://imageshack.us/ being one of them.... that will never use your space here and by the time they ever take them down, your post will be long gone in the archives anyway.
