Nail Soup Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 I just tried to make a post, including an image but I got a message saying "You have used all of the attachment space you are allowed. Manage Attachments to free up space" ... seems I am at 202% (or something) of my limit . Is this correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve just chopped mine down to 32mb and it took nearly two minutes of my life to do it.

I did the same with a brew earlier - a lot of the threads I’ve posted in are like “no context bass addicts anonymous” but if it clears space… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Newfoundfreedom Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Yup. I had the same earlier. I deleted all my attachments for the last 3 years since I joined the forum and then it let me post another image. Some strange stuff going on with the forum today.

I’m thinking more that it may make old posts and thread’s unreadable. So probably best to wait until the admin suggest a Course of action then I’ll go with that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Woodinblack Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 thing is, we can put it up and we don't want old threads to go bad, but we needed to shed some space, the server physically stopped as it was out of space. I can put it back up a bit if it is causing a lot of issues, and hopefully we can get more space soon, and then it won't be an issue.

0 tauzero Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 I was doing a bit of spring cleaning and I noticed that one picture was taking up 3.3MB and, like many others, was called "image.png". I assume that was one that I pasted in from the clipboard rather than dragging an image file in, as I use JPEGs. So I went to the original image, cropped it as I'd done before, saved it as a JPEG, deleted the original image from the post by removing the attachment in the editor, and dragged the shrunken JPEG in instead. That saved about 2.5MB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Geek99 Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Can the site do some size shrinking or forcing of formats upon upload ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That saved about 2.5MB. I noticed this too but to follow your suggestion for several images across multiple posts is not easy to do. If some sort of global conversion could be done in the back-end that would help a lot if that were possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question
Nail Soup
I just tried to make a post, including an image but I got a message saying "You have used all of the attachment space you are allowed. Manage Attachments to free up space" ... seems I am at 202% (or something) of my limit .
Is this correct?
