Media Gallery

After looking at a bunch of search results with no luck, would someone point me to a thread or explain to me in simple terms what "Media Gallery" is.
My membership level says I have 20Mb of it....

In the most simplest of terms, it’s a picture (Media) hosting by BladeForums.

In my picture below, this is how you access it, and the steps (1-2-3) should you wish to create your own media and albums.

You control the public/private viewing settings from your profile settings. You can use it to post photos to your posting/threads in all of BladeForums too.

However, 1 caution: the delete function has been disabled for years (Spark and some Mods aware) and the only way to delete a picture/album once you create media is to have a Mod or Spark do it for you, as their delete function is enabled.

Hope this makes sense.

OK, thank you.

Retired UPS Driver This leads me to another question. I've exceeded my attachment allotment. Does this effectively give me another 20Mb to upload attachments to? Or is the Media Content linked to the Attachment Quota?

I don’t know that answer for sure, but I feel it’s safe to assume it’s 2 separate allotments that are both independent of each other. As I have both and my Media did not include on my attachment allotment.

I tried uploading to the Gallery, it IS NOT independent of the attachment limit. I was blocked. Oh well, off to IMGUR I go. Can't wait for a solution.
