Attachment Overload

[HD]

We are experiencing issues with attachments....I'm looking into it.
Sorry for the inconvenience.....

what did Glenn do now??!!   

[HD]

Looks like too many large picture files have been uploaded.

They should be reduced before posting, otherwise the server gets overloaded.

[Steve-o]

mea culpa.   

[glenn57]

Well,  it sure as hello ain't boars fish pictures. 

[HD]

I'm not sure what is going on...I dumped a ton of data, and it still won't let me post a really small thumbnail picture 

[HD]

We're going to reboot the server, so the site will be down for a little while.... sorry for the inconvenience 😕

[HD]

Looks like it's back to normal

Looks perfect here.  Good work HD!

[Leech~~]

Yep, working again! 

[Leech~~]

OK anyone else having issues posting pictures?  I have some Roma tomatoes with rots spots on the bottoms I wanted to show.  Not posting.  Just says error?

Looks like you're getting this error:

"Your attachment couldn't be saved. This might happen because it took too long to upload or the file is bigger than the server will allow."

I had to put a cap on the size of the file that could be attached because of the last overload on the server.

The cap is set at 3000kb for the size, anything over that limit will not upload. It must be resized to make the limit.

Sorry for the inconvenience, but I had to........

[glenn57]

  do what the flagpole is 3000kb??

[Bobberineyes]

Their just cell phones pics I've posted a 100 times in the past!

To put this into perspective, we are allowed 20Gb of space on the server.
Just the site to operate, takes up 8Gb of that space.

Cell phone picture files are (on average with the newer phones) 4Gb per photo, so, basically 4 cell phone pictures = 12Gb....and the server locks us out. Then I manually have to go back, and find the oversized picture files. Then either resize them myself, or delete it so others can post pictures.

To get more space, I would need to pay more per year for a dedicated server, purchase my own server or get a VPN (none of which I can afford)

That's it in a nut shell.......

[mike89]

keep up the good work HD...   

[roony]

Yes, Thanks.

[LPS]

So does that mean we shouldn't post pics HD?  There is the x-large, large, medium, small or something like that when we post a pic.  Is that relevant?  I always hit Large. 

[tangle tooth]

      Don't blame me. I don't know how to do that picture upload thing.

OK think I got how to resize on my cell now.  All the girl pictures are going to have smaller boobs now!! 

[LPS]

All boobs are nice, big ones and small ones.   

[fishwidow]

As long as they’re perky.

No LPS, you can post pictures.

Actually 3000kb is a rather large resized photo, so it shouldn't be a problem. Most resized photos are around 500kb - 900kb and don't compromise quality of the file.

So you could potentially post 6 resized photos in one post and not have an error code.

I'm just trying to find the best compromise that doesn't effect the members to much.

Great HD!
