What is the standard procedure for deleting files from "My Attachments"?

[Contessa Donatella]

Just poking it in different ways does not seem to be doing a thing?!!

Thank you, anyone.

I PM Errol about it. Haven't gotten a response. I'm getting a message that my attachment is full.

I got a message saying that my attachments are 3036% of the allowed amount.   Yeah more than three thousand percent of the limit.  LOL wtf?

Didn't know there was a limit.

@Errol ?

I also don't have permission to attach anymore. It says I have 30 thousand times over my allowed limit.

Great at least I am not alone.

Well I guess for now, until this is resolved, I suggest uploading images to imgur.com or imgbb.com and then using that to post the image here.  That's actually what I do 99% of the time.

It's rare that I use the attachment feature.  So I guess the allowed amount must be small.  Edit, yeah it says that the allowed limit is 1.95 MB.

I got this as well.

I already tagged Errol.  Tagging @Toups now, too, just in case.

It must have just started alerting us that we are way over the "limit".

[Errol]

Thank you for letting me know. I made some changes to the settings but was unaware that some of y'all were utilizing the board to upload so many files. I will re-assess the limits to see what is a fair number.

Just keep in mind we're not Google Drive. Our storage capacity does have some limits, specifically when it comes to what is being shared by users. A few pictures, gifs, here and there are fine. But Large files should not be uploaded here.

I think that's an amazing decision. Everything should have a limit in this life. I only remember we had a 4,5 mb limit when uploading a file.

Thanks, Errol! And, off we go singing, We are not Google Drive!

Oy, same concern.  And because we can't edit old posts, I cannot delete old/large attachments.  It's a catch 22 situations.  My only solace is seeing that this has become a common issue.

What is the rule of thumb on when a post is too old to edit?
