Posting photos.

[Jacksparrow]

For the first time since the update I have tried to upload photos from my pooter. Previously it was no problem but now I'm being told the file is "too big"
The average size of my own photos are 2.5 Mb. Do I need to downsize my photos or can the acceptable size be increased? I'm hoping it's the latter as the former would be a pain in the butt.

None of the picture upload settings have changed. It was on 1.6Mb before and still is.

I've put it up to 2.6Mb.

It's always better to try and get it hosted elsewhere though like flickr or imgur.

Thanks Kev. I'll give it another go.

Kev, help please: trying to post a pic but whatever I resize it to the message always is - "Board attachment quota has been reached".

We hit our folder quota size. I've just increased it a bit. I might have to delete some old attachments if it gets a lot bigger. That's why hosting offsite is better.

Thank you, Kev. At least one of us knows what they are doing !!

I have tried a couple of time over several day to post photos but the system stops it saying the "Board" if full Am I the only one or have others failed?

[Kev]

We're sailing a bit close to our server limit. I deleted some old attachments a couple of weeks ago to make more space.

It's better to put them on a hosting site like flickr or imgur then it doesn't 'cost us' any space.

[Kev]

hmm I just tried to attach a picture and it didn't do it for some reason.

ah yes board quota reached
OK I've increased it a bit.

[Kev]

OK should be fine now. I've pruned some old ones from 5-6 years ago.
