An image hosting site that is not listed, (and should be) is Cloudinary, which is what I use. You need to create a free account on the site to use it though and you don't need the plugin to use it either. Cloudinary

Another option, if you find yourself sharing a lot of photos and sensitive files, are to actually use file sharing services like Dropbox, Google Drive, or Google Photos. They have larger limits for free accounts than PB's attachment service (2GB and 15GB, respectively, though for Google that 15GB is across their service). I would also like to note, since no one else has, that the PB attachment feature isn't really being used for its intended purpose here, which is file sharing—that's why the default free space has limits. If you're intending to display photos and videos in posts, as seems evidenced by your threads, you will need to find a proper host or purchase a hosting package from a third party provider, or shell out and upgrade your attachment space to a higher limit (or clear out old attachments that are no longer being used, if that's an option for your community). Services need to make money too, and unlike your thread here suggests, this particular issue regarding your attachments is not a result of a vendetta against you by cloudflare. It's expensive to run free services on ad revenue alone (especially when a lot of people use ad blocker) which is why the more resource-intensive options like file storage are pay-for. Whether or not cloudflare has a vendetta against you specifically, I have no idea, but it seems unlikely that they'd target a single individual when their services are used by much larger, multibillion dollar entities. But that is just my 0.02. If you are certain that cloudflare is biased against you, please be advised that many platforms and services—including ProBoards—use them.

Ty for the replies folks.lol,if the admins read my phased array thread,I suspect proboards owner would give me full access for life,as much data as I need.but I'm not here to rock the boat. As for as vendetta,somebody somewhere is man in the middling me and I do wish proboards could give me data on who these folks are.even the alphabets involved currently.i have a major financial claim ongoing and to have those attackers ips and names would just make my homicide case that much more solid. I make this claim of mim because I'm being severely data restricted at random times and 50%of the time it's on proboards. If proboards could help me with that issue i would be greatful. Thank you for the links folks.i had an image hoster/photobucket, but fbi shut me down a few years back after I hacked some alphabets legally. I shouldn't have to get a court order for something as simple as a mim,if admins have access to that info.im not asking for anything illegal and if I am then I withdraw my request.truthfully,I love proboards and have been very happy with the setup,i just didn't know about the limit.

CloudinaryCloudinary is geared towards businesses which is why it is not included in the External Resources list.

It would be better to create a new thread for this particular issue the next time this happens so there's less confusion. There may be a few reasons for the blocks from Cloudflare so it's best to check in to see if PB can help out (: Try to lay out the information concisely—is there a consistent pattern, what steps you take to get the error, and so on—but nothing can be done without the RayID from the error message so wait til you get another (:

robomont your lack of attachment uploads does not mean you have to abandon your forum. There are other ways of posting images. You will not be banned from PB for using alternative posting methods. You can pay PB to extend your storage. This is an ongoing monthly fee. You can use hosting outside PB. These services host your images and generate a code for the image to be copied and pasted into the post. This shows the image on your forum without using PB storage. I use imgpile.com. It's free, there are many more hosting services available.

Are those images in some way very graphic (you mentioned murder cases), thus image hosts won't allow them?

You also have the option to delete older attachments, should you no longer need them. This will free up some space. admin > upgrades > file storage > manage under attachments You should see a list of all the attachments on your forum, along with the option to delete.
I just saw my past posts. I have to be the CREATOR of the forum to delete attachments, as admin I can't.

I'm trying to find where to delete attachments following the instructions to:
admin > upgrades > file storage > manage under attachments
and
Admin > Settings > File Storage, Attachments > Manage
I'm going in thru the Admin tab on our forum. I see Admin Map, the tab Overview, Settings. From there I have Forum Settings/Calendar/Newsfeed/Censored Words/Reserved Names. When I poke on Forum Settings I have the tabs: Forum/Navigation/Login Reg/Calendar/Social Med/News Feed When I go thru the admin>upgrade instructions I see My Account/Manage your existing subscriptions. That takes me to the subscriptions page and none of those tabs get me to File Storage.
I've searched this support forum for File Storage and the instructions keep coming up the same. I'm missing it somewhere.
Point A-that is probably because you dont have the necessary permissions to access that part,are you the root admin? You have been down this road before? support.proboards.com/thread/645620/message-exceed-attachment-space-limit?page=2Point B-You really need to start your own thread under the rules of this board,not post on someone else's.

Yep, I remembered I had an issue before and searched my past posts. It seemed like a familiar problem. I had just forgotten. PointB - Sorry bout that! I had searched to see if this had been discussed before and replied under the post that was closest to my problem. Point B taken and I'll do it right next time. Thanks for your patience.
