    Posted: January 08 2011 at 17:34

Hi.

I have reached the 5 MB limits of my uploads and is required to remove pictures. So I go to my personal profile and finds the upload and removal place where I am supposed to remove my uploads.

Problem is........

Most of my uploads is album covers, band pictures and pictures that is large chunk of an artist profile..... In other words; it is not my private stuff, but the uploads limit says it is my private stuff.

I am now in the situation where I cannot add photos to interviews and cannot add more albums covers. 

How does this work and how do I move around it so I can still upload album cover art and pictures for interviews ?

Please help.

You are going to have to upload to the main site somehow. M@X will have to fix this for you probably using the ftp software.

Not to discriminate anyone........ but it is probably quite logical that a Collab/Prog Reviewer/SC is uploading and adding more albums (Read: album art work) than Newbies. I suggest a system of different uploads limits for these memberships.

Uploading album covers is different htough. that goes into the main datrabase. you are talking about the forum where your interviews are kept.

OK...... let me see if my one and a half brain cells get this right:

I upload an album cover = the image gets duplicated into the main data base at the same time as it still remains as my private uploads on my upload account which is now full ?

The duplication means I can go ahead and erase album covers ? If yes, please let me know = I will erase and get below that 5 MB limit again. 

I am not particular keen on going on a PA vandalism spree by erasing images I thought is only my private ones.

Ok let me understand.

These album covers are in the forum displayed or in the artists database?

Yes, they are. Let's say Genesis "Selling England By The Pound" as an example. The art work is both displayed in the album and artist profile at the same time as being listed in the uploading PA member's private uploads folder, the 5 MB limit folder.

The clue here is to not erase the cover from the artist and album profile at the same time as getting below the 5 mb limit again.

Ok no answer yet.

If they are in the artists pages of the database...which I don't know how is possible anyway...delete one and check what happens. We can fix any eventuallity.

If they are in the forum where your interviews are I'm almost certain the images will disappear. Which is why M@X needs to sort out some alternative arrangemant for you.

It shouldn't be in your folder. delete it now and see what happens. I can upload a new one if it dissapears.

I tried to delete five different images and got the 500 error - internal data base error. The images are still in my box and I am stucked on 5.17 MB. Hence, I am chess mate in this game.

I have raised this as a bug so many times now I am relieved to see I am not alone. M@X very kindly increased a while ago the upload limit for 5Mb but no matter how often I try to create more space, you cannot delete your images. Good luck finding a solution where I have failed. I even raised the issue with M@X on the latest ' Server Upgrade" threadStern Smile

^ Not so. M@X fixed the deleting issue after the previous upgrade. I did delete some stuff. Since the server upgrade recently some old problems seem to be back. Patience.

Torodd, do you have a link to an album cover that is also in your personal folder? The cover images in the main database are uploaded when they are added, it is not possible to provide a link to an external image there. As far as the main database is concerned, the forum image upload is also an 'external source'.
If you have a link to one example, I can check to verify that this is still true (no need to think it has changed), and to see if  we can clean up your storage.

Can I also suggest that the busiest beavers in this dam, from Prog Reviewers and up, get a more workable upload limit (30 MB ?) than the new newbie/senior/groupie beavers ?
