Does becoming a contributing member give one more storage space for uploads?
DaveC426913 said:Usergroups?
I'm asking about personal attachment space. I've attached 1Meg+ images over the years and have capped out. So I've begun deleting images from old threads in order to post new ones. Seems a shame that those old-yet-perfectly-good threads are beginning to "rot".
Evo said:There was a fluke before where a thread was duplicated that had a lot of attachments and a member contacted me to advise that he had reached the attachment limit and could no longer upload. I found the thread and deleted it and it freed up his limit. So, I do believe that there is a cap.
Greg Bernhardt said:You are in the "registered" usergroup. This group has no limits on total attachment space. Maybe the images you are trying to upload are too big. The single file size limit for everyone is 100kb. Which is quite small, I will increase to 300kb.
DaveC426913 said:There is a cap and it is 1Mb total. When I crossed the limit (40K at a time - I'm aware of the file limit), I could not upload anymore until I'd deleted enough to go back under 1Mb.
Greg Bernhardt said:Dave if you could try to reach that cap again and screenshot the error message. According to my settings there is no limit for you.
Okay, if he hadn't just done that, I'd be laughing even harder...he's saying he exceeded his attachment limit, and you're suggesting he upload another attachment to demonstrate it.
The latter. This is the first time I reached 1Mb.Moonbear said:Dave, out of curiousity, do you recall running into this problem before the last upgrade? You might not be able to remember, or you may have only just recently hit your limit,
Right but then that thread is tied inextricably to my keeping the attachment up, which I can't always do. A year or two ago, I lost a bunch of graphics from my ISP and now my old blog entries are missing pix. Same thing can happen here.Greg Bernhardt said:There are other ways to get a file on the internet than through PF upload ;)
Becoming a contributing member allows you to access additional storage space for your scientific research data. This means you can store more data without having to worry about running out of space.
