NO MORE ATTACHMENTS?

Post by Chuck Lutz » Fri Nov 21, 2014 8:56 am

While photo hosting services can link a photo for the g503, anyone who has ever looked at early threads will find the box with the RED "X" in it and/or the photo missing. That certainly makes using those services a crapshoot. Even if the service is "temporarily down" you can't access the pics. The services have come and gone as people have stopped using the service and the photos have fallen into cyberspace....

HOWEVER....by posting them right on your thread, you can guarantee they will be there when you want them....OK, so 256kb is as big as you can readily post them and only three per post limits those long posts.....but I happen to LIKE a sure thing!

Fast Forward to yesterday and today.....guess what? You can't just post your pics to the gee any longer....I am sure there is a reason, maybe Joel's 25,000 posts ate up too much bandwidth? Maybe all those stupid motion Avatars ate up bandwidth? Maybe all the motion advertisements are the issue?.....bottom line is this FEATURE is no longer available so I guess that's it for me. I won't be posting any of the photos I like to use to help answer questions for people.

Too bad....I like to think the ability to post pics was a great help to guys.....now they will wait as several have the last couple days...... W-A-I-T-I-N-G for someone to respond and then, maybe only an answer without a photo to explain their question.

"A picture is worth a thousand words".....too bad that is no longer an option.

I'm sure there is a reason for this....anyone want to enlighten us?

You know, even if the photos are posted as attachments, they still run the risk of being deleted if there's any server problem. ie Jeepdraw.

You could upload your photos directly on surfacezero, it's been running for a few years, I guess it'll keep running for a few more!

EDIT : Here, it says Sorry, the board attachment quota has been reached.

That just means the image folder is overcapacity. Just let the mods correct that, shouldn't take long ;)

If a pic is posted to jeepdraw and jeepdraw has a problem then they can and have been lost to cyberspace....not the same as when you post a pic to a thread in one of the forums. Even surfacezero has had problems I hear....most forums I visit give you the ability to post to the thread via an attachment....simple, fast, easy and the pics stay there. I've never seen a photo I attached to a thread disappear in all these years so I'm kinda in the "If it works, don't fix it" camp on that.

Hopefully the capacity of that image folder can and will be expanded....

Same problem can occur here as well, it's still a FTP with a folders probably called Images.

Difference being that the Gee is probably run by a single server while image hosting sites are on thousands.

Have you PM'd a mod or Jon?

I'm not having a problem.

I'll ask the Guru and see if it's a local thing.

Could be because you're a moderator Jon. Maybe the rights to regular users have been changed?
