PLEASE USE IMGUR FOR IMAGES

Post by FarahShazam »

You don't have to be a member of imgur to upload pics.

The attachment feature will be blocked immediately.
Please use IMGUR.com or another image host.
<will not be deleting attachments>

*Attachments on phpbb software can be deleted by authors who decided to submit them so save any you'd like to keep.

So... The visual history of TubeNet will be erased on June 1st? That's a HUGE deal. I know there are limitations and all, but...

Attachments are temporary files that are, usually, purged by owners of the associated accounts or by software updates.

Before they are deleted permanently, the images can be moved to our home server. Thing is, BB software deletes older images automatically if the file becomes full. It's an option in the admin panel.

Ok, I'm confused.

What's going to happen after May 30th?

Or rather... for images posted as attachments to the board right now, after May 30th, will they be visible anymore? Or will they be removed?

Is there an option to just not allow people to not post any new images, and maintain the ones that are already there?

working on it, there might be something I'm missing
Ok, just curious. I'll be here, pictures or not. :tuba:

I'm not deleting any attachments or turning them off. I thought it would clean things up, but in reality, there is no harm in keeping them.

I've cleaned up some space. Just enough to where people should be able to upload some attachments again.

That would free up space so others can use the system in the future
I only had about 6 attachments. I've copied and/or deleted them all.
