Error uploading images to MyBB

[SA-UK]

Morning

I can't believe the total user quota for all a user's images is 200K as most members don't seem to be hitting any issue when uploading/attaching pics to a message.

I can't even upload a image to show what the error im getting is

Here's the popup text I get when trying to attach a paltry 60k image to a post

The following errors occurred:

"Screenshot_20180416-091524.jpg: Exceeds your quota by 51.7 KB. <a href="misc.php?do=attachments" target="_blank">Click here to view your attachments</a>"


Any admins or mods around?

Didn't realise I'd uploaded so many images.

TinyPNG or TinyJPG that screenshot

Image type makes a huge difference. If you're trying to upload a png rather convert it to a jpg with a higher compression setting.

Or host it offsite and link to it - no one really wants to download large images if they don't have to.

Your point being?

I don't have a solution to my issue.
It has nothing to do with file size. mine is 60k.

I should think after 30 years in IT i'm aware of that.

Do you host everything offsite?

Yes, you would think so.

I don't post images larger than necessary. Everything I post falls within appropriate size and dimension parameters. If it's too big I reduce it.

You might want to add that to your original post. The mods/admins aren't great at guessing info like that.

Thanks for the link!

FYI below are the allowed type and individual image sizes/dimensions for an attachment.
But nowhere can I see the official total user quota allowed per user on this forum.

And 60k or 200k or 2Mb < 28.61Mb


Filetype Max File-size Max Width Max Height
bmp 19.07 MB 1000 2000

I wouldn't want to appear cocky or unhelpful so I'll ask @mariush.
