We have an image quota?

[rob_s]

And if so, is there some repository I can go to in order to clear things out? Or somebody I can pay to up my quota?


Can’t post photo so here’s link to screen shot hosted on Dropbox.. (https://www.dropbox.com/s/ipyh3xxmjd40ljv/Photo%20Jun%2007%2C%207%2046%2015%20AM.jpg?dl=0)

I suppose, it is "Settings" on the upper right and then "Attachments" on the lower left.

It's this page:
pistol-forum.com/profile.php?do=editattachments (https://pistol-forum.com/profile.php?do=editattachments)

pistol-forum.com/profile.php?do=editattachments (https://pistol-forum.com/profile.php?do=editattachments)

Yep that did it. Thanks!

But man, it’s like Sophie’s Choice deleting stuff out of there!

So one bit of aggravation with the image quota...

It appears we can’t delete images that were part of for sale posts, but I also can’t delete the post (no longer for sale, sold elsewhere) or bump another one for an item I’m still looking to sell.

Absent all of this, what’s the current “best” site for hosting Photos to post to the forum? Photobucket is charging and gotten weird, google stopped outputting the right link format, Dropbox appears not to work for embedding, pretty sure iPhoto won’t either...

Report the post and I'll delete it. If you change the thread title to "sold" when the item is sold I go through and delete those every couple of days.

google stopped outputting the right link format
In Google Photos:
1. Click with the left mouse button on the picture you want to post so that the picture fills the whole screen.
2. Click with the right mouse button on the big image so that the context menu pops up.
3. In the context menu, select "View image" (Firefox). Copy the image URL.

This URL works for me, when I insert it as an image in pistol forum.

Instead of step 3 you can select "Copy image location" in the context menu (Firefox).

Firefox is the browser which I use. If you use another browser, then probably the menu item in step 3 has another label. But I suppose, the trick should also work.

Jeez, I’ll bump it up :D

Stand by.

I wasn’t kidding, I don’t mind paying.

But thank you. :o

Well, fork it over then. Just like Epstein didn't kill himself, the forum doesn't support itself (absent contributions).

Is there a means for contributions beyond “membership”. I’ll Happily pony up more.

I was just bustin' 'em. That's up to you as I have no hands on the reins. I think RJ has been reported to be very generous to the forum, so you might ask him. I'm just a regular old supporting member myself.

[rob_s]

It appears that I am no longer a “supporting member” which I was unaware of. Evidently it expired without my noticing.

ETA: got it corrected.

Hm, I dunno about that.


I do know however there is no limit to how many years of Site Supporter status you can pay for. In my case I promised I would keep going until I made C class in USPSA P, which may take some time. :)

Well, there is the “PF Patron” option that Tom was working on and it is a hundo a year. I haven’t had much time to think about it (being home with the whole family non stop since mid March and still working full time has cut into my free time, surprisingly), but now that you mention it, I’ve got some ideas on making that worthwhile for you guys that choose to do so.

Ok, the problem with the limit on your image uploads was that a week ago PayPal decided to make *goddamn sure* that PF is not selling firearms and using PayPal as a monetary processor, so they sent me a note and ceased processing Site Supporter and Supporting Business memberships. I made very slight changes to the wording of our Site Supporter and Supporting Business options on our “Support PF!” page, submitted a screenshot and link, and also explained that PF does not sell guns, but it took PayPal about a week to reinstate PF with non-Lord of War status.

So, we are good now and apologies. Lemme know if you have any more problems.

I just had, for the first time I remember, a message that an image I was trying to upload was too big. Usually the software just resized it but this time it just rejected it.

Just FYI. I don't need to post the image. (It was a .bmp but I tried it as a .jpg but it still recognized it as a .bmp)

And all these years I have been trying to unlock Lord of War status.... :(

Does the 'Patron" option actually exist or is it something that you are are just thinking about?

I just looked over my paid subscriptions and I couldn't find a Patron option, but my internet skillz are near worthless so it could be my mistake. If there is to be a Patron option, I'd be interested.

Great googly moogly. Thanks for the effort.

And I too would pay extra for Lord of War status.

I was getting this error also, saying I was exceeding the limit by ~7mb when I was uploading 42kb, and I noticed I am shown as being a humble member now. The automatic payment went through on August 8th, and it looks like it also left the checking account. I have a screen shot, but you know, I can't upload an image... :cool:

Fixed, added a month for good behavior. Thank you for the support.
