Attachment limits

[LEH]

I've done a search and either cannot find the answer or am not going to go through the several hundred 'possible' answers to see if there is one.

My question is this based on this. I uploaded a photo today and noticed the attachment bar telling me the size of my attachments. It appears that the bar is implying a limit on the memory we can use to store photo's (or other attachments) we've uploaded

As I said, I can find nothing in a search, in this forum or on the attachments section of the UserCP.

So is there a limit or is this just a reference so we have an idea.

Host it off site, for pictures anyway, personally I use Photpbucket for pics. This way you are actually posting a link that happens to be a picture, it is not stored on this site, I am sure that makes Lindsey happy, less bandwidth and drive space used. Photobucket uses an html img code.

Must be a limit. I tried to load a small picture last night. Got the RED bar. A sentence above it stated I had "x" amount of stored stuff OVER THE LIMIT and it wouldn't allow me to upload.

So, I went through SEVERAL pages and deleted stuff I'd uploaded. Got a few meg deleted and it still said I was OVERLIMIT....I just gave up....

I guess that I can understand their storage capacity issue here, but, why don't they set up the site to automatically delete off things after a certain amount of time. I went clear back to when I joined and began deleting...

Because that would limit the posts usefulness to whatever time limit imposed. Photobucket is good for this, you can also share those pics on other forums as well.
