Someone needs to go back and delete some old photos.....

Postby up148 » Tue May 22, 2018 10:19 am

because we met our quota limit again! Tried to post a photo and it would not post. I've deleted all my old photos so I can't delete any more.

Not me - mine are all hosted off-site.

Not worth the effort. Every time this happens, the logistics of keeping the board from overloading are discussed.
Folks delete, purge their own stuff...and a couple of folks basically say "oh, goodie! There is room, let me fill it up!"

So, delete away. One or two of our esteemed members who won't utilize an off site photo hosting service will fill it up within days.

Something else I found on my control panel was a way to manage my attachments. Found photos and attachments I had not deleted (thought I did) going back to 2014. All gone now.

Thanks again Rufus for pointing me in the right direction.

Possibly true, but nothing prevents those that feel the need or have the will to exercise a little responsibility for their participation.

True. Like handing out thimbles to the passengers on Titanic. Keep the water out of the people part.

If it keeps them occupied and feeling that they are helping, then I do not see the problem. For all anyone knows, it may help. Why denigrate their desire to try to be helpful?

Those of us that use off site hosting services chose to pay for that and not contribute to this recurring problem.

I'm still surprised that you can do that; once a month they were trying to get me to ante up $'s for the full fare account.

I’ve been a paying member for 15 years or better. I think they grandfathered me in. :mrgreen:

odd. I re-read my post and discerned no denigration.

I have use Flickr for years and years. Once you figure out what link to use, its fine. And since the PB fiasco, Flickr probably won't go down that particular rabbit hole.

I did my bit, which is indeed like bailing with a thimble considering the shear volume of useless crap in that politically polarised cesspool called "clubcar lounge", eating up tons of bandwidth for nought. :roll:

Meanwhile, too late for PB for me. It took a week of dropping everything to unload onto memory when they tried holding us hostage in a manner no different than the bitcoin-for-holding-your-computer-hostage arseholes. I won't trust them such that I reload. Who are they kidding?

Again, I left for a far better service than PB every provided
