201er Posted May 17, 2022 Report Share Posted May 17, 2022 I'd post a screenshot to show you but I'm apparently 340mb used out of 19mb limit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have tried to cull some of the useless images I've posted but can't figure out how to delete them. Our forum has very little storage space. Part of that is because the forum is free for most, but storage isn't. Your excess attachments will probably be auto-deleted soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc_B Posted May 17, 2022 Report Share Posted May 17, 2022 Sounds like we need a feature "yield time (er...space) to the distinguished gentleman from Arizona." Would be nice to have a feature where you could list all of your attachments and be able to delete unused or unnecessary ones in batch format like you're deleting emails from your in-basket. Also be nice if this "tab" or screen had a percentage bar of where you were with your storage limit so you'd know if you needed to delete more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N201MKTurbo Posted May 17, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2022 The problem is if it starts auto deleting, its going to delete important stuff. If it would let me selectively delete the worthless fluff, I would be glad to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or we could collect a small dues offering from everyone, and buy more storage. I don't think it would take much -- storage is cheap (but not free). This could also eliminate, or at least reduce, the incidence of lost pictures, documents, etc. Some of these posts don't mean much without the associated documents.

When I post it has a statement I’m over limit, I clicked that statement and it took me to a page that showed me 10 pages of my attachments, so I deleted the last page and a half, the over limit message took awhile to go away, but it has gone away Edited May 17, 2022 by A64Pilot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forum says my attachment limit is 19.53MB. I currently have 219MB of attachments or 1118% of my allowance. Something has changed recently. 19.53 is not a lot of data. You can send more than that in a single email. If this limit remains the user experience will be diminished considerably. You’ve been here long enough that getting under 20MB probably means deleting 85% of your attachments which will likely remove them from the posts where they were used. @A64Pilot did you check to see if deleting the attachments also deleted them from the posts in which they were inserted? Many of the older threads I’ve searched have dead links where the attachments used to be. I would be happy to delete everything in my folder, but I think it would remove them completely from the forum. If we have to continually remove attachments to continue posting, this place will cease to be a true repository of Mooney info.

I know there has been a fairly recent change of software and hosting site and, apparently, a change in available long-term storage. I also know that in the very recent past, we permanently lost a large number of pics and documents in order to free up space. I wasn't online when it happened, but apparently we were offline for a while because we ran out of space, and the admin had to dump enough stuff overboard to keep us afloat.

My supposition is the forum owner has changed servers and the new server has a lower storage limit, probably upgradable for more $$$ of course, but I am NO computer guy, just guessing. A few years ago a lot of the “free” photo storage programs started wanting money for you to use them for image hosting and now want money to continue to store your photos. Photobucket has recently started sending me emails telling me if I don’t “upgrade” my membership they will delete my photos as an example. It would appear that a decision has been made to increase profits, and the “free” data storage was just bait and now the intent is to hold your family memories hostage for profit, Pay or they are gone If I were to guess and this is only pure speculation the switch may have been because the owner was being held hostage, you know pay us X or you lose your data that was once either free or part of the package you had. But that’s wild speculation of course based on no facts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, and Craig @mooniac58 deleted five years of image files. I’ve been under the impression that storage has been getting cheaper not more expensive but I guess I’m mistaken.

No, you are absolutely correct. The issue here is that storage is not free. If we want storage, we have to pay. Not much, but more than zero.

Skates97 Posted May 18, 2022 Report Share Posted May 18, 2022 There is an option to add a photo from a url, but I would love to know what the secret is to making it work. I tried uploading a pic to google photos and getting the link to it, but when I use that link it will not add it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carusoam Posted June 5, 2022 Report Share Posted June 5, 2022 Without additional memory… 1) I’m unable to re-orient pics… 2) Post and discuss savvy graphs, with notations…. 3) Put circles around important parts of other’s pics…. The usual conversational helpers we typically have around here….

N201MKTurbo Posted June 5, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2022 It says I get more storage if I donate $10/ year. I opted for the monthly donation. I donated more than $10/ year, but it still shows that I’m a basic member. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
