HMM... We went from 17 available MB's to SEVEN within a couple days???
Somebody has a mission.
But some will take the other option rather than pay for a fun site.
The question is, WHO and WHY push us there!

I suggest a few folks drop a message to patricktm
He has been on a mission the last few days to post anti-Trump and anti-2nd Amendment full size cartoons on a few threads in the U.S. Politics area. A couple of people have challenged him about it, but he says he doesn't care.

THX NWGH GUEST!! I looked up the thread you are talking about. PATRICKTM should be banned from this site. He is spoiling it for the rest of us.

Let them use up all the Photo Attachment Storage space. Once the ability to post photos as attachments is gone, then everyone will have to learn how to post pictures and graphics without using the site storage space or just not be able to post photos to the site at all.
No need to pay for anything. Just learn to post correctly and we don't need any of that space.
Also, paying money to ProBoard has absolutely NOTHING to do with the GBO site storage space. Paying supposedly removes site ads. However, at least one member I know paid for it and still sees ads. So paying anything to ProBoards is not worth your money.
PHOTOS, HOW TO Add Without Using Up GBO Megabytes

That's good ZOE! I think you're right. When the free MB's are gone, the rest of us can bring photos the right way - without using MB's! THX!

You're welcome, hwy60!
As hwy60 stated above, patricktm is not using any of the site storage space for the graphics he posts. He is using an external hosting site, so the size of the pictures or the amount he posts does not matter, since they are stored elsewhere and take up ZERO storage space on GBO.

Thanks again Zoe,
This is part of the info I am looking for.
Will my avatar eat up any site storage?

You're welcome, teafortwo .
No, the avatars are not included in the site storage quota.
Also, please read and follow the step-by-step directions in the tutorial thread I created about changing your avatar. Click here to go to the tutorial thread: How to change generic avatar to a picture.

I think you were right Zoe! We have been down to ZERO remaining MBs for a couple weeks now and we are still able to insert photos because we are not using up MBs here. So the only people the limit would bother would be those who are still trying to use the 200 limit of the MBs here. Those are the people who brought us down to ZERO availability, so here they are. Onward, Upward.

As I have time, I have been working on using Flickr as a host site. But like other sites, the designers seem to have an adversion to making things simple. One finds questions on the 'Net like "What's the difference between Photostream and Camera Roll?." IMHO, if labels for parts of a system are so unclear as to cause users to be puzzled, the designers have failed! Anyway, if I can get the details all figured out and write a short tutorial that will allow users to embed photos here, then I will feel free to start deleting old photos from our allotment, which can then be free to be used on a temporary basis by those who will either eventually covert a photo to a host site (such as Flickr) OR don't care if their attached photo is later deleted.

Flickr, a host site as opposed to GBO, or a photo storage site?

Flickr, a host site as opposed to GBO, or a photo storage site? Basically, any site you can store a picture on that's not GBO. The ones that I do are on a site that I have that's a mix of genealogy and sneakers.
