What's the size of the file you're trying to upload? The per-user limit is rather small and could possibly be reached with one full-resolution upload.
Small B&W of approximately 40-50kb file size which should be well under the image file size restrictions unless that has been changed since I last uploaded. Was using Chrome at the time.
Update: It seems to be working fine this morning. Any believers in Gremlins?
And oddly enough, I didn't change anything.
Glad to hear it's working again! :-)
Am finding this to be an ongoing problem. Unable to share photos anymore at all. Message keeps coming up that the image is xx MB over your quota. Images are typically 50-60 kb after resizing efforts. Have eliminated many old posts to no avail.
Browsers used include IE, Chrome and FireFox
I've been digging into the issue this morning. It seems that just deleting your previous messages does not delete the photos uploaded for those messages. From the looks of it, you have 94 images uploaded to your account (I think). As deleting the old threads didn't actually remove the images from your account, they are still taking up space.
I'll try to figure out a solution...
Just checked the statistics - jrw, you are indeed the user with the most total space used on the site from attachments uploaded to the forum. I'm afraid you've just run into the site limit. :-)
I suppose I could delete all the images you posted prior to a certain date. If that's alright, you can let me know the cutoff date and I'll trim your attachments down.
Unfortunately, there's no way for me to tell which attachments belong to threads you've already deleted without going into each attachment's reference page individually and scrolling through the thread to see if the original post has been deleted (prohibitively time consuming).
I deleted all of your images posted prior to February of this year (there were a few posted after that - but they'll remain until you fill the quota).Quote:

Thanks Sean.
