Upload Limit?

jcarlson — Thu, 04 Aug 2022 14:35:46 GMT

I was authoring a post earlier, and got an error message that I had reached my 1000 image upload limit.

I'd post a picture of this message, but, well. I hit my limit, so I'm not allowed to.

Anyway, what am I supposed to do about this? Do I have to go into my old posts and delete the images from them?

😂

I was surprised to learn I've posted that many images! Maybe I need to chill out with the screenshots.

I mean, 1000 seems like a good number, most users won't get there. But for active users it's only a matter of time. I guess it only makes sense that you hit that limit first 🙂 I've uploaded 350 images in my 1.5 years as active user, so I still have some way to go, but it ramps up quickly.

Do I have to go into my old posts and delete the images from them?

I hope not. Few things are worse than finding a question with the same rare problem you have and an answer "See screenshot" followed by a broken image...

Maybe I need to chill out with the screenshots

Noooo. "A picture says more than a thousand words". In many situations it's far easier to show a screenshot than to describe it in words.

Hopefully this limit can be set per user. Another thousand should probably be enough for the next year or so 🙂

And we're back with some breaking news... we have increased our image count to 5,000 per user. @jcarlson there's no need to delete old images as they are all relevant to some topic or post.

@JohannesLindner - to your point but slightly twisted, "A user is worth 5,000 images" 😀

Happy image posting!
