I am not sure if anyone else is having problems but when just now I tried to upload directly an image of about 500k, I got an error message that quickly disappeared but said something to the effect that our forum has exceeded it's storage limit and I could not upload anything. I also noticed that in the Canada, classic forum that
some links to images were not working when trying to enlarge them.

Theron, I think the two issues aren't related. We have apparently reached the capacity available to us for attachments and we will either have to delete (or resized) existing attachments or buy more storage space. We'll need Jack to tell us how he'd like to proceed on that. We ran into this problem in the past and that is why it was recommended that images be hosted offsite -- they don't count against the forum's attachment limit and may still be uploaded.  I'm not sure why some of the images in the Canada section aren't enlarging. I've encountered the same problem before the attachment limit issue presented but am not sure of the cause. |

I also noticed that in the Canada, classic forum that some links to images were not working when trying to enlarge them. I've had this happen many times but it was always just a temporary thing, as though it failed to make the handshake needed to start data transfer. A second click of the thumbnail and the images will usually load correctly. Ryan |

Storage costs and ad free costs are due at the end of the month. I use reloadable visa card for online purchases (pro-boards will not take PayPal)had a bad experience once. The card needed a cash top up and the weather was so bad here I waited till today to do it  . When storage is maxed out, all the thumbnails will not enlarge till payment is made. It costs about $6 a month for the current plan which is up to 800 mb, we are at 550 mb at the moment. We have 200mb per month free. When the forum started I thought that storage would be a once off payment, but you have to keep paying for the storage each month if you don't they freeze your images  . So we will blame it on the weather and my laziness in this -45 weather  |

Jack, unless the image is very small, I will use imageshack from here on out. Theron.
