on the new topic page in the attachment editor it says this;
Attachment space used 20.02MB of 20MB & Max. single upload size: 100MB
when i try to load photo's, even very small ones it says attachment too big. Tis has been happening for a couple of weeks now. I have posted tones of photo's, always doing exactly the same thing, and same size shots.
Can anyone help me out with some wisdom about what is going on?
Cheers,
Danny

looks like you've reached your quota of 20MB. Click on "My controls" then look for "manage your attachments" on the left. Delete the ones that are no longer relevant, or resize ones that are too big.
Pictures shouldn't need to be any larger than 100kb - so 20000kb quota should be enough for 200 photos!

sorry to hear that Danny, unfortunately there's nothing I can do to bring those back. Reminds me of a few years ago when I accidentally deleted all my PMs....d'oh!

Alternatively host pictures externally on a site such as photobucket.com and use tags to bring the picture up. Images posted in this manner appear on the thread without you having to click on the little attachment box. Plus the max hosted image limit is way above 20MB
