Cannot post photos

[abcdefg]

This morning I'm running into trouble posting photos. It was working normally yesterday.

 

Receive warning messages that look like this:

 

 

 

And this: 

 

 

 

I'm not trying to upload large files. Most are about 100 kb each. 

 

It appears to apply even when starting  new topic entirely, such as this one attempted just now.

 

 

Is this a new policy (I hope not), or is something broken? Thanks for looking into it.

You have used ... MB of your 195.31 MB attachment limit.

@edelweis -- I didn't realize there was an attachment limit. Is that a weekly limit, a monthly limit, a lifetime limit, or what? Could you please clarify? I have a couple other travel features on Jianshui almost ready to post if it is permissible. Both have lots of photos.

I don't know. I guess @roddy can give you more space if you've reached the limit.

Thanks, I will send him a message and ask.

The problem is that in addition to a maximum image size, there is a maximum total uploads for all users and you have now hit that limit.  Which is why it worked the other day but not now (because you still hadn't hit that limit yet).

 

@roddy should be able to hook you up with more space.

Thanks, Imron. I've sent Roddy a message to ask. I would like to continue contributing China travel articles from time to time and China living articles from time to time (mainly food, cooking and tea.) These tend to work best if they include photos. 

[imron]

Indeed.  I'm sure roddy and I are not the only ones who enjoy your posts (and accompanying pictures) on these topics.

Try now?

Thanks, Roddy! Appreciate the help. Back in business, and I promise not to abuse the photo privilege.
