It has become so hard to post pics on boomboxey!

You're just running low on your allocation of attachment memory. Delete some of your oldest pics to free up some space.

Click on your user name on the top right corner:

View attachment 32096

Then click the 'Edit my Profile' button:
View attachment 32097

Then click the 'Manage Attachments' button:

View attachment 32098

Then delete some of your attachments (pics). I usually go to the oldest page and delete a page at a time. As I post a lot of pics, many of my old threads have no photos as I've had to delete so many. We need more memory!!!!!!!! View attachment 32099

To make the most of your membership, you guys really should be taking the extra step of resizing your images before posting. Most images will display fine with a final file size if 80kb ~ 150kb. Most cameras today are capable of snapping pics with file sizes of 5 to 10+ mb. That's MegaBytes! Not only is it unnecessary and takes up space, it also slows down the site and eats bandwidth, especially when guys quote everything on responses. If you have images over 1mb, it's really too big. Keep the hi-res stuff on your computer and post the low red stuff online. Lastly, it is recommended to crop out un-needed background material. This allows the boombox (or whatever the subject happens to be) to display larger with the same image size.

So I notice with my pics, they are generally ~5mb on my phone, but when I upload them, I think the site must automatically resize them??? Because they upload as about ~100-150kb.

Just something I noticed, totally cool with me.

Jimmy's screen shot shows some very large image file sizes. So one shouldn't presume resizing is automatic.

I'm simply just saying it does for mine. I don't know how or why. But it does.

Here's a screenshot of mine, says I have 123 attachments @11.85mb, averaging just under 100kb per file.

Funny enough, this screenshot is 356kb.

Great advise, thanks much, Jimmy, had the same issue now it's solved, thanks to you, buddy.

A great heads-up as well, will keep an eye on that.

I upload to Flickr, and paste the URL for the original (highest-res) jpg into that image button under the smiley.
Zero issues with resizing, storage or rotation. Non-members can see them too!
