We're close to exceeding our storage limitations on attachments. In order to keep us going, we need to start shifting to having the images hosted elsewhere, such as photobucket (which is what I use). When posting, you can insert a link to the offsite image and it'll work just find.

We're coming up on 400mb of space used, and our limit is 500mb without incurring additional costs for storage space. I'd like to avoid hitting that limit by starting now to have all posted images linked to offsite storage of those images.

To help us stay in bounds, I've reduced the limit to the size of each individual image to 500KB, and the max upload per post to 1MB. If you must post to the site the images you're using, you'll have to resize them to stay within these limits. Of course, if you use offsite storage, then there is no size limit other than what you face with the hosting site.

Thanks for helping us keep up and running. Post any questions you have about this here.

Just a bump to make sure everyone has a look at this.

Bump again and pinned.. as many new members always have questions about how to upload and show images.

I use photobucket a lot of the time so no worries here.

erik1925 · « **Reply #10 on:** March 29, 2014, 03:55:34 PM »

I use that too, Randy. I've never had an issue, either.

Have to say I dont understand because I dont understand. Its a miracle I am able to post any pics.

When I put a pic on here I am wasting space?

I should post a link to it instead?

or is what I am doing with picasa like this okay?

I need to find something different. Photobucket is driving me nuts. A bit of a Drama Queen ...

erik1925 · « **Reply #13 on:** March 30, 2014, 05:38:57 PM »

Looks good, Alex... and it works!

I like Picasa because Im pc clueless. I dont know whats going on but it works anyway. If I can use it anyone can. Photo bucket was too confusing.

I think Picasa might just be taking over my PC. $:-\$

Will give it a try. Photobucket keeps hanging up on me.

Sooooo rude.

Just create a tumblr account and post a link to that as well. I have never had any problems with photobucket.

Ari · « **Reply #19 on:** April 01, 2014, 08:48:22 AM »

I've used photobucket for years and years but when they made changes a year or so ago I find it much harder and messier.

Mirosae · « **Reply #20 on:** April 01, 2014, 11:27:43 AM »

I think it is a bit messy and it crashes my laptop ...it takes up a lot of memory. But that perhaps says more about my crappy computer than Photobucket. ....

Photobucket has become a real pain in the buttocks.
Apparently, if you have a yahoo account you already have a flicker account in waiting.
Works a heckuva lot better than the bucket and I intend to transfer all of my images there.
