Forum Issues

Post by Gadianton Slayer »

Not sure if there’s already a thread for problems people have encountered so here’s this one.

I would upload a screenshot of my issue, but that’s the issue lol. Every time I try to add an attachment I get this notice:
Sorry, the board attachment quota has been reached.
The files are proper size, but it won’t let me upload on mobile or desktop. Is there a limit to how many attachments can be added from a single account? Anyone else run into this?

Thanks.

Brian has a limit on how much storage space he is willing to devote to images on his site. A dedicated server is cheap and would give him a lot more space available, if he does not have that already.

You can still share images. They just have to be hosted somewhere else. Any web address will do. Then you just post the url of the image and surround it with the image tags. Save your images to somewhere on the web and you are all set.

https://postimages.org/ is another good one. quick and simple to use, and it gives you the helpful option of resizing the pic too, so it doesn't come out too small to see, or obscenely large taking up the whole screen. The medium-smallish option it gives (I think its like 320 x 240 size) for most intents and purposes seems the ideal size for most images on LDSFF.

And embedding from there is super easy. It gives you a list of different type of links to copy-paste. The best one for LDSFF is the second one down, titled "Direct Link", which you simply place inside the [img] brackets, and you're good to go.
