You have used all the attachment space you are allowed”

After the forum update I seem to be out of space.  Anyone else have the same problem?  It is a lot easier to communicate with pictures.

I'm working on a photo host upload like we had on the old forum but until then, you can always use imgbb.com or postimage.com to upload and then paste to your post...it is super easy, just copy the url from the photo upload site and then click "INSERT OTHER MEDIA" right above Submit in the post editor!

Aye- I’ll give that method a go.  Thanks!

Yeah...I keep a bookmark for imgBB in my bookmark bar up top and just open a new tab when you need to upload an image...quick and easy!

I tried to add the URL from imgBB and it is not working for me. I used the Insert Other Media link but can't get it to work.

Make sure the URL you are trying to paste in starts with HTTPS...if it starts with , you can just past it right into the post!

I uploaded an image to imgbb but it didnt insert into the post as described above using the HTTPS:... url link. Doing something wrong?

I'm also over my attachment quota from posts that came from the old website. Should some of these attachments be deleted?

You can probably delete some attachments like anything from the count to 1 million photo thread but you may not want to delete any photos from something important or archive worthy!

The URL upload should work good...can you send me the link of your image and I'll see what is wrong.

This was the link created with the uploaded pic. Could also be an issue with the technique I was using but I wasnt seeing the picture appear in the reply.

Ok, that is the viewer link...it doesn't work well with forums for some reason...chose the link that says direct link and then paste it in the other media "insert image from URL" box.

[SteveO_71 15]

I dont have a "Direct Link" option in the pull-down menu. Just "Viewer Link", HTML codes and BBcodes.

Ah, you're not logged in to imgbb...try bbCode Full Linked and just past the code right into your post!  Don't use the "Insert Other Media" button!  It will look like this:

Or just create a free account in imgbb...it's good because it will save all the stuff you upload so you can get at them later if needed!

That seems to work! Thanks for the help!
