Can't post photos - due to volume?

My board has been up since 2006. We are down to four users, counting me.

I deleted a lot of the old pages to reduce our volume but it still says "Your forum has reached its storage limit for attachments."

What do I do to get around this? How much extra storage do I need to buy each month?

(Side Note - I'm battling long Covid and I get very confused.)

Hi. You mention you deleted pages, but unless the pages had attachments, that's not likely to do much good.

What will probably help is if you delete older attachments instead.

Go to Admin > Settings > File storage > attachments section and click the "manage" button.

Unfortunately, it doesn't show the date of the thread, but it has a link to it so you can review before removing.

The pages themselves don't increase your storage limit it's just the attachments but they'll get deleted with the post.

Go to Admin > Upgrades > File Storage and scroll down to Attachments. You can choose the Manage button to delete some old stuff or Increase Storage to buy a monthly subscription.

If there's only 4 of you then hosting new images somewhere like imgbb or postimg and embedding them might be a good option. It's a bit more hassle but easy enough to do.
