    I'm over the attachment quota limit, can it be increased please? I would like to be able to attach images to messages when I am providing help to fellow gardeners.

    Thanks.

    Thanks. The limit appears to be 5MB, and I've got 96 images uploaded - which is about 53 kB each - pretty frugal!

    I think attachments were introduced in October last? and if the limit is finite then its a bit of a hurdle that more folk will hit, over time. (I've no idea what vBulletin offers, but I'd like to hope that there can be extensions for regular posters, or monthly increase, or something that will still prevent Twits posting shed loads of images to reference from elsewhere thus clogging up the server :( - where's the machine-gun emoticon? :)

    FWIW I'm not keen to delete attachments as they mostly support where I have given advice, and would render the old posts rather castrated :( and uploading to Photobucket or somesuch would be a lot more effort to just support a post with an illustration (bit different if I wanted to have a Gallery of images of my garden to share with Friends and Family as well as here ...)

    I'm sure you get my drift ... :gnthb:

    I've doubled your limit. Will that do?

    Magic, thanks. I'll try to be selective in what I use it for.

    See you in six months time! :hehe:
