All My Photos Disappeared

[Retired UPS Driver]

Thank you!
At some point, I was informed that there is a limit on how much data we can upload, but could never figure out how to know how much I used and where to go to delete if I needed to make room.

r8shell ,
Your individual stats are listed on the main forum menu at the bottom right, (or in your profile too under Gallery Media if you have a Gallery).This is for how much data you have used if you have a Gallery here on BladeForums.

I’ve direct posted all along and never ran into a direct picture posting data cap, nor heard of anyone else either (however there may be a cap). Gallery Data Cap, yes there is a cap.

Here is where to find where your stats are listed, these are mine:

I also relied on an outside 'Third Party' host to link to images. It was Fototime. I swore by them for years.

But.... when they decided to cease operations ALL of my 10 years of information and images to display were lost and a 'Red X'. Sigh.

Simply be aware. Mom & Pop foto host companies may have glitches at best, and at worst may not survive. The now-affordable BF Gold Member option ensures longevity.

I can't even imagine how devastating that must be, Especially in Your circles..... Fudge!

The main reason I started an IG account is just to store my work.

So if I am understanding you correctly, having our pics (attached) Here is going to be more secure/lasting?

All the old posts of ten years or longer with lost photos are from second party hosting? Maybe I need to make a gallery with just attached pictures

Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes, and Yes.

C&H Knives forum SharpByCoop sticky: I have 70 PAGES with hundreds of posts, ALL irrelevant because I relied on an unstable image host.

So, as long as BF is here, BF has your images.
