Plymouthy Adams Posted July 10, 2020 Report Posted July 10, 2020 I could explain this if you were sending this via the Australian postal system.....them fees are really off the chart.... Quote
Sam Buchanan Posted July 10, 2020 Report Posted July 10, 2020 (edited) Is there a way we can check our quota? Nevermind; found it in Account, My Attachments. Edited July 10, 2020 by Sam Buchanan Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted July 10, 2020 Report Posted July 10, 2020 (edited) I believe if you go to your profile page, attachments, the blue banner shows your level of quota remaining....you can look and see if there is the message ICON by it is on the forum if there is an envelope it is in your mailbox...both go against your quota.....the envelope messages may be NLA and as such probably no longer viewable due to cleaning out the mailbox but this does not clean the pictures....this is an added step you must do to fix.

Andy, You might go into your attachments catalog to see if you can delete photos that are no longer needed. I've seen you post photos of your car many times and if you adding those photos as new attachments each time instead of pulling them out of your existing attachments you are eating up storage every time you post them. Click on your screen name at the upper right corner, then select 'My Attachments' to see what you have uploaded. You can check the box for unwanted attachments and delete them.

P15-D24 Posted July 10, 2020 Report Posted July 10, 2020 Also don't forget you can use images stored on other external sites and link the URL to get them to display in your thread. Quote
Andydodge Posted July 10, 2020 Author Report Posted July 10, 2020 So is it possible to delete pics from my attachments thing...........I don't have any pics stored on any external site, only on my home computer.............andyd Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted July 10, 2020 Report Posted July 10, 2020 I was not going to tell Andy I have seen those pictures many time.....reason...I am on my meds and they don't bother me.....? Quote

This will delete your attachment on the p15-d24 server, not the image on your home computer. When you add an attachment to one of your posts, it gets stored in 'My Attachments' on the p15-d24 server, and you have filled up your attachments corral and need to thin the herd. ? But scroll through your 'My Attachments' and look for attachments that are duplicates and remove them first. As you remove attachments you will see the fuel gauge in 'Attachment Quota' come off the full peg. Edited July 11, 2020 by Sam Buchanan Quote

When you click the box a check with appear and a Delete option will appear at the bottom of your screen. You can check as many boxes as you wish. Click on the trash can and all the attachments you have selected will be deleted. Edited July 11, 2020 by Sam Buchanan Quote

So make sure you don't delete a photo that you want to remain in the archives for millennia...... Now....from now on when you want to use an image you have used previously, and you haven't deleted it, you can select it from 'Insert other Media', 'Insert Existing Attachment' and you won't need to upload it again. This will help you control the size of your attachment folder. Class dismissed! ? Edited July 11, 2020 by Sam Buchanan Quote
Andydodge Posted July 11, 2020 Author Report Posted July 11, 2020 So can I still use the guy with the papyrus and his mate with the sandstone blocks......I normally use my carrier pigeons for long distance work, tho' the smoke signal blanket is readily at hand................so who wants a Luddite application form?............lol...........and you guys, stop picking on me, I'm delicate............andyd 1 Quote
