I know I have 993 images, my original question was how many can I have/what is the limit at a gold membership? I still haven’t seen that answered anywhere.

Gold gives you 200 mb of storage. As for how many attachments that gives you, it depends entirely on the size of your uploads.

Ok where can I find this information?
I’m only using an iPhone if that makes a difference. I generally resize all of my pics to 600x600 or 600x800 per admin request.

I'm not on a phone, so your viewing may be somewhat different than mine. If I go to the 'Attachments' page in my account, in the lower right corner I see my number of actual attachments/total allowed (500), and below that, the actual amount of storage I've used/allotted storage amount (200 mb).

Like many of us, my total number of attachments and storage used are well beyond what is supposedly allowed, which is what just became an issue a few days ago.

Click on your profile icon at top of page. A drop down opens. Select “attachments”. Then scroll to bottom right and it tells you 1) how many pictures you have vs limit and 2) how much storage you’ve used vs limit.

Thanks, it must be different viewing on a phone.

Ok I feel like an idiot now, I was going about it a different way through images.
I’m 993/500 198%
153/200 76%

You’re not one of the idiots here. You’re fine. Happy to help.

One of the last pics I posted uploaded at 300k automatically compressed from the original 3.3mb pic, there's been some sort of auto-resizing happening for a while, at least for my Android device.

That's so weird, I went to go try just now to see, and when I try to upload some images from my phone directly, sometimes they'll resize just fine with no issues, sometimes the website will tell me the file isn't an image (it is), and I could have sworn that in the past it'd say that it was too big to upload if it was a very large photo. Now, the very large photos just hang at 100% upload and locks up. I think that last bit might be an issue with my phone, though.

Yes there is. For Gold the limits are 500 images or 200MB, whichever is reached first. For Platinum it's 1000 or 400MB.

The 20MB (or 30MB for Platinum) is for the media gallery, which is totally separate.
 
Ahead of any future solution which spark is obviously looking into, I have to assume there will be a paid membership option that allows for unlimtited images at a price. Will people go for it? Who knows? It seems just as easy to manage your limits which means having to delete old pics or the third party option is always there but risks blowing up at some point like it apparently has before and results in deleted pics anyway at some point potentially.

The delete pics option though could use serious improvement so you if you are at a point having to delete anything you don’t have to delete one image at a time with no way to sort by thread or whatever. I certainly don’t go back into some threads like “what are you carrying today” or “for sale”, not to mention the off-topic threads like W&C and whatever to look at old posts. I do, however, look at old threads on a specific brand or pattern, enjoying all the fine examples posted and find it extremely helpful with research etc.

My pictures benefit other people. I’m not interested in spending more money to help others that may not be paying anything.

Everyone member should have to pay. I’m willing to pay more to support the forum.

If you belong to a knife club or any other club everyone pays dues. No more “I support this site with my mind” BS.

We need a way to preserve the historical stuff (even if the member stops paying or dies), and delete the casual making conversation fun stuff.

I think some sort of ranking system could work. Special like button paying members use to mark important pictures.

Should moderators only spend their hours online assisting those with a gold membership or above? (Asking for a friend.)

(Oh...and how much should they get paid?...forgot to add that. 🥳 )

This is a community. (Or was until the March 6th rebellion.)

I never mentioned or disrespected the moderators at all in any way.

Why would you ask me those questions? Ask the owner.

I respect the community, I just think asking the people already paying money to support the forum to pay more is wrong if some don’t pay anything. Then they treat those of us that do pay like we are morons for doing it.

Right. This is the "I support this site with my pictures" thread.

I agree with preserving the historical stuff...but most of us fall pretty squarely in the the casual, making conversation stuff.
The hard limit on attachments and storage is a problem because, over time, we'll all hit that limit. Some will do it in 6 months, some will take 6 years. I've been a gold member since 2014 - sometimes I let it lapse because I was not participating; but I've always renewed when I came back. I knew when I started attaching images that there was a limitation; though I didn't know that I could pay for multiple years before reaching that limit, then get cut off. I figured that when the time came, I would delete some of my older images & continue without much issue. I hadn't considered that 10% of my allotment would be taken up by images I can't delete.

Relax. I was bustin' 'em. It's not a one-way street after all. We get to get some shots in too.
