Thanks Andrew!

It is through PayPal. They will take your debit or credit card: This link will take you there. Thanks Andrew!

Looks like you found it. Thanks @RobertGary1!

Tick the boxes to the right of each item to select it for deleting. There will be a trash icon at the bottom of the site to delete all selected items. Note that if you cannot see the trash icon you need to minimize the bottom banner advertisement with the down arrow at the top right of the ad.

We already had this once. The forum was shut down in less than a week. It was a moderation nightmare.

I don't see any way to delete notifications as they just persist either as read or unread, it looks like they auto purge after about 90 days. You can manage what you want to be notified about and how you want to be notified about them here: https://mooneyspace.com/notifications/options/

I don't know what you mean by past notifications. Could you provide a clear example?

If you are following a specific topic go to the top of the page and click the "Follow" area. Here there is an option to "Unfollow" Also you can manage all of your followed content by clicking on your Username at the top of the site and selecting "Manage Followed Content"

For some reason a closing HTML comment (-->) was appearing in the header. Not sure why it started all of the sudden that page had not been updated in over a year...likely a new update to Chrome or something didn't like it I just removed the whole commented code and it went away.

Should be fixed up now.

Something odd is going on. I'm seeing this too and looking into it.

When you donate if your PayPal email is not the same as your MS email - make sure to give your MS member name in the donation notes. In the event of a mismatch I always send an email to the PayPal address to try and get the match made but sometimes I get no reply (likely because people have an old email tied to their PayPal that they are not checking anymore). It seems every year I have 5 or so donations that I can never track down what account they belong to. In any event you can always email me using the Contact Us link here or message me on site. Thanks! Craig

They have not but I will look into it. Thanks for the report!

Sounds like a sticky DNS lookup. The IP address of the site changed and wherever your iPad was getting the IP was the old one. Likely would have cleared up in 4 hours or so depending on DNS caching settings on the device, network or ISP.

Hello all, Today I upgraded the server from a shared hosting program to a new "virtual private server" - our storage went from 100GB to 250GB and we will now have continuous backups (we have not had backups since we exceeded 50GB on the old plan). You should also notice that things are running considerably faster around here. We have a lot more processing power and quicker disk access, etc. The migration happened really quickly but there is a chance that within an hour or so today something you posted might have been lost in the transition, I apologize for that but it is the nature of the beast. I am increasing storage limits to 1GB for Supporter members and 200MB for Basic members. However, please still be mindful about your uploads - obviously if 200 supporters decide to max out their upload limits we are going to be in trouble again. We currently sit at about 75GB storage usage so we have about 175GB of headroom. The new server plan costs about 3x what we were paying before. Donations would be appreciated as always and remember that Supporters have the ads turned off and get 5x the storage space of basic members. You can donate at this link if you so desire - $10 minimum per year will grant you Supporter level access. Please let me know if anything else seems off or not working correctly...I have not seen anything but things like this usually end up breaking something or other. Fly safe! Craig

I just tested dragging and dropping a JPG and it worked. I did this from a Windows PC. Not sure what platform you are using...

Are you able to tell me what the file extension is? For example .JPEG, .JPG, .GIF, .PNG, etc?

4 days ago I doubled the storage for all members (500MB for Supporters). I show you have 250MB available. If you are not able to post some pages they must be a huge file. How large is the PDF you are trying to send?

I'm looking into options for doing this on IPBoard (the forum software we use). I did not code this site, it is a pre-packaged deal so if it does not natively support image resizing or if there is not a plug-in that does it I cannot do it. My coding days are 15+ years behind me now. In sites that I built myself in the past I always ran uploaded images through a module that would reduce width and height as well as run fairly heavy JPG compression to reduce file size.

It is very likely that Google has things setup to prevent hotlinking images from their servers onto domains outside of their ownership. This is pretty common practice with image websites. It causes them to pay for bandwidth that they cannot monetize. You will notice if you go directly to that link in your post it redirects you to a Google page. If you inspect that page you will see that the image is actually at the URL of: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/y9RXMBTsye_BHN5BafW2BmGcQhDZIvmqg3s1-mf1anaUDXOx17N_2Uf4piyrKBFP-PX2aH6g_Nld4-SOBSgu4QoSAM7ld3QfsISGcJEmiFbQWp_Quf8tOR8Z_jePeyneI6otAQ8zGE-zt1Lcxw6YLCwOmtxsT_fDaQB61VL46o_UOCMGYt_K3jy-61cbA5UiQOzq_mHGZUsS-239ofusH3T71BLaoqV6P8V3j-0HeVcRmsoFBiz5K_4c2hz48OBaTKM1q5Y35ds9yRtFUy5QNRkjbC9poJodqj_H727kfQSirqHOQSEPluMiOzN5pVG_AriMO-MP72rgt4msTg9F-fxHeTfbm12_tbL824gPUYQpDRBrntsTrZAM5jQIry4R1IfKlAZmRGGbBA0x-71tYqlxDyqykVQLVG2mr7-Q1RsitOe8dgnmyWdQ9pHXvlyfpdHSVHkADfZQUIjxtlrZ7lXgMyivi3EhfxZbeletHHMxcv2u6--V7g7B_InRiLkl8CZqhPmTnLoxnk7RvE2XwUGpcHfFYb61D2sI53GfdalvatwK24ZeVHI9Gyss-SuaPIKb_KpGkpLHaL7_fE542P5XK7m5fsGRklYsV6gzZlBh9_LeBQtfDaSRQwmuDalQjC1gMvS9Mod_DPINeB76dgGHafgBxIRdvKsXW76tWH51oKOBTfruH-40mVotZWfHW16AIH_ffUWJb41ZvzKhLKX4E4pr1BVhYrO-N2zlGThDrJQK7s80ErT991Xje2g9fnohC6vFjDGSOYjYTJS9A1GelsRDrwDZh4bXFhyfjQWEHus0Qjeciw81Lrhwq3z1vGoh3_wD2j3tIILHEcYV44RSX10wjoI=w668-h412-no?authuser=0&quot That URL is pulled off the DIV element on the Google page: <div class="RY3tic" style="opacity: 1; background-image: url(&quot;https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/y9RXMBTsye_BHN5BafW2BmGcQhDZIvmqg3s1-mf1anaUDXOx17N_2Uf4piyrKBFP-PX2aH6g_Nld4-SOBSgu4QoSAM7ld3QfsISGcJEmiFbQWp_Quf8tOR8Z_jePeyneI6otAQ8zGE-zt1Lcxw6YLCwOmtxsT_fDaQB61VL46o_UOCMGYt_K3jy-61cbA5UiQOzq_mHGZUsS-239ofusH3T71BLaoqV6P8V3j-0HeVcRmsoFBiz5K_4c2hz48OBaTKM1q5Y35ds9yRtFUy5QNRkjbC9poJodqj_H727kfQSirqHOQSEPluMiOzN5pVG_AriMO-MP72rgt4msTg9F-fxHeTfbm12_tbL824gPUYQpDRBrntsTrZAM5jQIry4R1IfKlAZmRGGbBA0x-71tYqlxDyqykVQLVG2mr7-Q1RsitOe8dgnmyWdQ9pHXvlyfpdHSVHkADfZQUIjxtlrZ7lXgMyivi3EhfxZbeletHHMxcv2u6--V7g7B_InRiLkl8CZqhPmTnLoxnk7RvE2XwUGpcHfFYb61D2sI53GfdalvatwK24ZeVHI9Gyss-SuaPIKb_KpGkpLHaL7_fE542P5XK7m5fsGRklYsV6gzZlBh9_LeBQtfDaSRQwmuDalQjC1gMvS9Mod_DPINeB76dgGHafgBxIRdvKsXW76tWH51oKOBTfruH-40mVotZWfHW16AIH_ffUWJb41ZvzKhLKX4E4pr1BVhYrO-N2zlGThDrJQK7s80ErT991Xje2g9fnohC6vFjDGSOYjYTJS9A1GelsRDrwDZh4bXFhyfjQWEHus0Qjeciw81Lrhwq3z1vGoh3_wD2j3tIILHEcYV44RSX10wjoI=w668-h412-no?authuser=0&quot;); transition: none 0s ease 0s;" data-latest-bg="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/y9RXMBTsye_BHN5BafW2BmGcQhDZIvmqg3s1-mf1anaUDXOx17N_2Uf4piyrKBFP-PX2aH6g_Nld4-SOBSgu4QoSAM7ld3QfsISGcJEmiFbQWp_Quf8tOR8Z_jePeyneI6otAQ8zGE-zt1Lcxw6YLCwOmtxsT_fDaQB61VL46o_UOCMGYt_K3jy-61cbA5UiQOzq_mHGZUsS-239ofusH3T71BLaoqV6P8V3j-0HeVcRmsoFBiz5K_4c2hz48OBaTKM1q5Y35ds9yRtFUy5QNRkjbC9poJodqj_H727kfQSirqHOQSEPluMiOzN5pVG_AriMO-MP72rgt4msTg9F-fxHeTfbm12_tbL824gPUYQpDRBrntsTrZAM5jQIry4R1IfKlAZmRGGbBA0x-71tYqlxDyqykVQLVG2mr7-Q1RsitOe8dgnmyWdQ9pHXvlyfpdHSVHkADfZQUIjxtlrZ7lXgMyivi3EhfxZbeletHHMxcv2u6--V7g7B_InRiLkl8CZqhPmTnLoxnk7RvE2XwUGpcHfFYb61D2sI53GfdalvatwK24ZeVHI9Gyss-SuaPIKb_KpGkpLHaL7_fE542P5XK7m5fsGRklYsV6gzZlBh9_LeBQtfDaSRQwmuDalQjC1gMvS9Mod_DPINeB76dgGHafgBxIRdvKsXW76tWH51oKOBTfruH-40mVotZWfHW16AIH_ffUWJb41ZvzKhLKX4E4pr1BVhYrO-N2zlGThDrJQK7s80ErT991Xje2g9fnohC6vFjDGSOYjYTJS9A1GelsRDrwDZh4bXFhyfjQWEHus0Qjeciw81Lrhwq3z1vGoh3_wD2j3tIILHEcYV44RSX10wjoI=w668-h412-no?authuser=0"><div class="eGiHwc" aria-hidden="true"></div><div class="KYCEmd" aria-hidden="true"></div></div> Which I can embed that here (which surprises me that Google is not blocking this): But I can't really expect most people to dig into the HTML of pages to get the image.

All hosting companies that claim "unlimited" storage or bandwidth have fine print on it. What they really mean is that there is a "soft limit" and if you go over so much they warn you, stop backing up files and eventually stop allowing you to create more files (like what happened to us). The good news is that you don't hit a hard limit and end up with corrupted data. I have had this with servers that I owned myself before. If the hard drive physically caps out then things will likely get corrupted. I already asked them about some kind of upgrade and they stated that the next upgrade option was to move from shared hosting to dedicated hosting - which is where you have your own dedicated machine with fixed storage. Even with this we would need to be strict on how much users can upload. The dedicated server has 250GB and that is only about 2.5x what we have now. If only a couple hundred users decided to upload 1GB each of content it would crash the server.

Our plan is marketed as "unlimited storage" but as with all hosting plans they have what is called a "fair use policy" that in the fine print states what unlimited really means. Try uploading 500gb of data to your server and see what happens. Likely you will be notified about this. I'm looking into dedicated hosting which will run around $1200 a year and will give us 250gb fixed storage. However in this kind of setup if the hard disks fill up it will crash the entire website and corrupt data (been there before)...so user data limits would still be necessary, but much higher limits. If I go this route supporter status will likely be a fixed amount like $35 per year instead of the flexible donation system we have now. Basic members will have very limited accounts. The big issue for me right now is time. I'm in the middle of expanding my donut business as well as a major home renovation. Mooneyspace is not exactly a project that feeds my family so I need to tackle this at a later time. In the short term I will likely double the storage limits for users to 150mb (basic) and 500mb (supporter) but that isn't going to help users that have uploaded 1gb or more of attachments already.

When it comes to photos people need to learn how to reduce the size of these using photo editing software. A JPG image can look really good with high resolution at 1MB. Attached is a 830KB JPG image at 2000x1335 resolution. If you just upload raw images off your phone or camera they are going to be huge. With new phone camera technology they are getting insanely huge - like 100MB (100x the size of the photo I attached here). Most phones have options built in to reduce file size. A basic member could have 100+ images like this on their account and a Supporter could have 300+. When it comes to videos, just don't upload them here. We are not YouTube and we don't have that kind of storage capabilities. You can upload your videos to YouTube or other video sites and embed them into your post here.

I had to set limits on everyone's account for all of your combined attachments. Basic members have 75MB of storage and Supporter members have 250MB of storage. Our hosting account only allows 75GB of storage and we had lots of users uploading 500MB videos and 100MB JPGs, etc. You can manage your attachments at https://mooneyspace.com/attachments/ (or by clicking your username and selecting My Attachments). Here you can delete your older attachments, etc.
