Can't Upload Images

Trying to create a new post in General forum about my leaky roof, and I get this message trying to upload some pics:

You have exceeded your allotted disk space for attachments

But I don't see any way to delete any old images - I've only got three or four posts so far and have uploaded a dozen or so pics.

If I switch from the Flash uploader to the "Basic Uploader" the message is this:

"You can upload up to Uploading is not allowed of files (Max. single file size: 32MB)"

I can't imagine my total uploads so far is more the 5 or 6 MB total.

Any ideas about what I can do?

Thanks - Sam

I've never had trouble uploading pics to any of my previous posts.

There seems to be a restriction on my account?

Maybe there is an Admin I could send an email to?

Message I got back from Greg. Sounds like he doesn't know what the problem is either.

Hi Linda
The only restrictions might be the size of the image being too big or there is a direct problem with his images. I can not remember the size limit but it is actually really large. There is a free image software called gimp. Sometimes just opening an image in gimp and saving it back out as a jpg solves the issue. Gimp can also resize images etc.

Well I took a look and can find no real reason why. Except that regular members have a restriction. Advanced members have no restriction. Takes 25 posts to become an advanced member. Anyhow I raised upload limit for members. Image size is still limited though, I think 1600 x 1600 and will be re-sized by the system to 600 x 600. Give it another try and post back here with your results.

It's working now - thanks Greg!

And now I can see how much storage I have left as a regular Member.

11 MB or so left for now - seems like kind of a small allowance when even a smart phone can make 5 MB images these days.

Do replies to posts count towards the 25 posts for Advanced status?

Or must it be 25 New posts?

Thanks for raising the Regular Member limit . . .
