CableGuy[Admin] Posted January 19, 2020 Report Share Posted January 19, 2020 Hi team, I no longer appear to be able to post embedded links to my YouTube build videos and I believe it’s because my attachment limit is reached - as below; I’ve logged in to my account but can’t find an easy way to review and delete relevant old attachments. My attachments cannot be located, apparently: Could anyone advise me on this, please? Thanks in advanceDan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly11[Admin] Posted January 19, 2020 Report Share Posted January 19, 2020 Hi Dan, yep looks like you have exceeded your limit. When I look in the back end it appears to be mainly photos of your E-11 from 2017 that take up file space. If they are part of a build thread then it might lose some relevance if deleted. It appears you saved them as attachments rather than a file service like Imgur, so perhaps load them on Imgur in preparation then try delete them from the posts. If that fails we can try and remove them for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, if I could find out which ones they are, they could be deleted and replaced with external links (Tapatalk or imgur). Thanks in advance.

gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted January 19, 2020 Report Share Posted January 19, 2020 Are you embedding the link or just copy and pasting in the "share" link, I find there are no issues using the "share" link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CableGuy[Admin] Posted March 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2020 Hi Glen @gmrhodes13 I finally got around to deleting the "attachments" from my Blaster thread (as my Youtube links were't working again) as they were the ones taking up space. However, even though I deleted them from the thead poast itself, the attachments still show up in the "my attachments" section of my profile. Any ideas on how to master delete them, please? Thanks in advance. Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sly11[Admin] Posted March 6, 2020 Report Share Posted March 6, 2020 Dan, you should have unlimited storage space for attachments as you are on staff now. I've checked your settings and it does say "Unlimited". As to your old attachments, I can see the dates for them and can delete from the back end. There are 8 total, all from 2017. I cant see what they are from there but they do say they were removed by the poster. They will be gone momentarily. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a question on this, what happens if you leave staff, I guess your limit drops so do ALL of your additions "staff added" images stay?

Sly11[Admin] Posted March 7, 2020 Report Share Posted March 7, 2020 I have notice that it reads attachment size over limit so you just cant add anymore off staff, it doesn't seem to remove them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
