We hit 90% of our attachment limits once again, so I went through the attachments again.
There were many, many attachments people have been putting up that are well over the 200kb limit (Proboards itself will let you do up to 1 MB, however that is because they want me to pay money for more storage - which they keep sending me notifications for)
So I deleted the worst offenders (over 400kb - double the suggested attachment limit)
and we saved 48 MB.
Given our entire storage capacity is 200MB only, (and to be honest most of the giant pictures were in the sale threads - some of which were over a year old) we just can't do this.
So if you have a recent thread and the picture is now gone... it's because the picture was WAY too large.
PLEASE keep your attachments to under 200KB
... or imgur links are super nice too
Thanks everyone

Or any other form of photo storage website; like a public facebook album, or an Instagram post.

As we almost ran out of space again... I went through and deleted the worst offenders of the attachment limits (remember everyone, if you're going to attach pictures they have to be UNDER 200KB) Proboards will let someone attach a file up to 1 MB in size because they obviously want me to pay for more storage space (monthly fee - just like the monthly fee of $12 I would have to pay to get rid of ads - or you know use adblocker which is free!)
I saved SIXTY MB by pruning these large attachments this morning... many of which were 700kb and larger (even one over a MB which I'm not exactly sure why proboards even let on!)
If you see one of your threads where a picture is gone... you were attaching a file WAY too big (as I only deleted the 300KB + files)
I do NOT want to delete pictures of someone's painting progress etc. BUT I don't want to pay to run this site either! (plus when we reach our attachment limit, we literally can't put anything on the site at all)
PLEASE - no attachments over 200KB. If you want to link a big picture, use Imgur or another such site. Super easy and free!
