Recently Crowned the "King of Uploads!"

[mr_lincoln]

Well folks, did any of you know there is an Image Upload Limit of 3,000?  I didn't either until just a few minutes ago ... I would share a screen shot of the banner error message when I tried to upload a picture but alas, I can't, I've reached my limit of 3,000.  I guess that makes me The King of Uploads ... 

I didn't even know it was a thing ... nor have I ever read about anyone else reaching that limit ... where's the Reset button right?!?  Who set that limit in the first place???  

I wonder if they would allow shared Image Upload Limits with other members?!?  I'm sure "somebody" would donate a few to me right?!?

It's a sad day in Mudville ... 

Wow ... I'm just at a loss ... I've never really used Emojis but they still work ... wonder what their limit is right?!?

😪 😭 🎩

Where are you hitting this limit? On the forum? Did you know you can delete your photos and there's a bulk option?

3k is a lot of images.

@mr_lincolnI assume you mean images to the Boards? 

No, I didn't know there was a limit, but Hail to Three, Oh King of Uploads!

[mr_lincoln]

@wastingtime101   It first showed up when I tried to upload a pic to you in a PM ... then posted about it on the open Forum and same error message ... didn't know there was a place where uploads were kept?  Where would I find that????

LOL @my-cottage-books-and-antiques 

Thanks for that STILL LAUGHING!  But I'm crying on the inside ... and yes, images on BOTH the Boards and Private Messages ... no more Happy Pig GIF until I get this figured out ...

Actually, they need to raise the limit to be honest ... assuming the current Community Management Team even knows there is a limit ... wonder if this is one of those Khoros things nobody knew about right?!? 

[wastingtime101]

On your profile page. Let me to go mine and get you a step-by-step:

1. Go to your profile page.
2. On the right you'll see "my photos" - click "view all".
3. On the next page under the "image options" drop-down, turn ON batch processing. This step will make a really tiny white box appear on the top left of each photo. That way you can check multiple at once then again, under image options, there's a delete button. Bulk actions only work for images on the same page.
4. As far as I can tell, there is no option to change the number of images on one page.
5. Going to the last page will show you your oldest images. Might want to start there since a lot of those posts will probably be archived by now. You've been posting here for years.
6. Images are displayed in squares so you may find that non-square screenshots, etc are cut off and it's difficult to ID them. Start with the stuff you can easily ID because opening and going one-by-one is an option but it takes forever.
7. Khoros image processing is s-l-o-w. Be prepared.

@aqeeqsouq   FORUM limit ... I'd share a screen shot of the error message ... but I can't because I reached my limit ...

That image of the obnoxious pig from the obnoxious commercial? haha I've seen you post that.

But if you're uploading it each time you use it, you're wasting image space. You can upload an image once, then use it over and over. 

When you click the camera icon, on the right side of the pop up there's an option to select from "saved photos" - for example, here's one I uploaded years ago without having to upload it again - and it's probably what you're thinking right now.

😂

PM me if ya need more help than what I already posted.

[downunder-61]

LOL - you can delete them, but then your older posts look ridiculous with all the 'empty image' box.........

[aqeeqsouq]

@mr_lincoln 

it's alright, you can delete your old photos.

I'm afraid this is the beginning from ebay to charging us for photos storage fees. LOL

[mr_lincoln]

@aqeeqsouq , @downunder-61 , @wastingtime101 , @my-cottage-books-and-antiques 

Okay gang ... thanks to Wastingtime I deleted a few pics but as downunder points out, some of my posts on the Forum will look goofy without the pic with them LOL!

The SOLUTION of course is to have the limit increased OR some way to have eBay-Khoros drop old pics from retired or older non active threads ... so, here's the error message, trust me it is a ONE OF A KIND, I should probably produce a signed copy right?!?  It might be worth something someday.

But Wastingtime is right ... the deleting process is ridiculously slow ...

@aqeeqsouq   Not sure, sounds like too many extra steps ... 

[aqeeqsouq]

@mr_lincoln 

Yeah, you right.

Anyway, if ebay allows to shared Image Upload Limits with other members, Let me know to give you some of mine, i'll be honored to do that.
