If you click your username in top right > My Profile > Edit my Profile > Manage Attachments.

So, to answer your question, you will need to remove some but this is how.

Hope this helps.

Thanks teamcoy, appreciate that.

You could try remotely hosting the pictures on Photobucket, then instead of uploading them to here, just use the 'Image' tool, enter the URL of the image, and voila! Lots more photos

But the image is still uploaded isn't it? Doesnt it use your allocation if its copied via Photobucket?, only from your desktop?

No if you use Photobucket the image is pulled from Photobucket's servers when someone views the thread that it's posted on. Much better for Basschat's server space and much better for the reader of the post since the images come in at the full width that the browser window allows instead of thumbnails that need to be clicked to be viewed properly.

Thanks for that, I'll have a clean up later, and get a photobucket account set up.

[Rick's Fine '52]

Fixed.

Thanks everyone.

Hey, thanks for that. I can add photos again.

I tried it and got this comment......"You are not allowed to use that image extension on this community."


WTF..................??? - this basschat site seems like a loady..............????

[Dad3353]

It's not seen as decent on a family site to allow file extensions such as...
.fuc
.pis
.wnk
.sht

...and a few others (.jim and .sav are recent additions...). Please avoid these file types, for the sake of the kids here...
