Uploading an attachment test

[Stanglover]

Perhaps not just me, but I had used up my 1 gig allotment for picture and file uploading. I deleted most of my pics from what I thought was just my file, only to find I had deleted so nobody could see the attachments on any post. I believe my problem was I had my camera set to a too high resolution for what was needed on here, thus using up way too much space. I've learnt my lesson so now I either reduce the file size or I use a second camera that is set to low res.

For now, our admin Rocketfoot has reset the allotment size as a try-out. I want to say here and now, how much I appreciate his efforts to improve and enhance our site.

Here is a test pic, so I hope it works. Yeah, that's right it is a mechanical Elephant.... with big gonads. It was in the Retro-Fest parade earlier this year.

Also file size is critical to uploading. Another pic I tried would not upload as it was about 3200x2400. This one is 1600x1200. Interesting!

Thankfully, no one has to pick up the mess this elephant leaves behind...

 Yes, but it still 'pollutes', has a small engine to drive the hydraulics that make it walk. Actually, there were two of these and people watching the parade, loved them. The "driver' sits on top by the neck just like a Mahoot (or however it's spelled!)
