Attachments

[danno50]

I ain't dropping out.
However, I need to delete around 2,350 more old attachments dating back to 2020, b4 I can post anuther picture.

Gold has a 500 limit. I've never been Platnium. Your guess is as good as mine why the system didn't tell me "You've Reached Your Attachment Limit." before I had 2,790 attachments.

Any way, can only delete one at a time; system does not allow choosing two or more for deletion a a time. PLUS you have to click a vrification you want to delete, then get taken back to page 1 and click way back to the last page with deletable attachments.
25 attachments per page. So far I have 36 attachments without a "delete" option. No idea what's up with them.
I figure I'll be done in a few days.
In the meanwhile, I'll just tell what Barlow I'm carrying, since I can't post pictures until I have less than 500 attachments, and/or under 50MB data in attachments. (currently at 168% above the data limit.
Started with 111 pages of attachments. Deleting from page 96 of 98 pages.

I THINK my Tuesday Barlow will be a Imperial Ireland Jackmaster.
(Identical to my Prov. N.J Jackmaster (shown day 2 or 1). but for tang stamps, and it is in better condition.

Later ... gotta git back to work.

Getting a notification that I filled my maximum allowable attachments.
Can’t post pics.
Deleted about 20 and still getting the same message??

Was going to do this in Primble's barlow for thirty days thread, but, thought it might be more appropriate to start a new thread. I couldn't find a thread for technical issues?? There likely is one?

I am a gold member. When I went to my profile and looked at attachments, it says I have 1,043/500, or 208% of what I am allowed? It also says that I am at 201/200 MB, or 100%. Question is: when an attachment is deleted, does it delete that photo from the thread it was posted in? Also, how can I keep posting if I am at my limit? Also, there are members who post much more frequently than myself and with many more posted photos than myself.
When I go to the account upgrades page, it says that Platinum gives you more messages and a larger image quota, but, does not give numbers.

Mine says I've reached maximum allowable attachments as well

Probably just a bug or something I'm guessing. I just renewed membership not long ago. Shouldn't be anywhere near any sort of limits.

Who knows.

There's multiple threads in the tech support section. Apparently attachment limits were just implemented

With no notice… then comes the “you can have more space for a small fee…” announcement

Apologies, I did not think of looking outside the traditional area to find a technical forum. Don't know how to close a thread, but, perhaps the moderators could close this one. Or move it to the technical forum?

That's crazy, attachments are the heart of these forums. If folks start having to delete photos they might as well delete whole threads because they won't make any sense without the photos. Look at how useless the old threads are that had the Photobucket photos deleted. Might be better off just deleting Bladeforums while they're at it and just start over.

Moving the thread to Tech Support where it belongs.

Yes. The photo is deleted and an icon of some sort replaces it, sometimes with the notice "photo removed"

I thought there were limits for Basic and Gold memberships all along.
Whether they were enforced is another matter.

See the other threads. There were always limits, they just were not functional. Now they are functional.
