RkyMtnHI Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 Help! when i start a new topic the page says "attachment system ready" but above that it says "attachment space used 39.25MB of 39.06MB??? Since i have not uploaded a file yet why does it say that and then refuse my photo? thanks for your help! dp then when i do try to load a photo, one that i have loaded before, it says "X Upload failed. The file was larger than available space". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedge36 Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 It's the way the innerwebs work... the software can't check the size of your uploaded file until the file is actually uploaded to the server. Also, it would seem the forum software guys forgot to check that available space > 0 before even attempting Step 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
me shakes fist Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 You've posted many pictures before. I'm guessing the board software gives you a certain amount of space (39MB) and all your uploaded pictures exceeds this limit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
