   If you're asking what I think you are, only you can do that. Take down some of your previous attachments to give yourself some space back.

   Jim, some other forum members have had bogus "maxed out" messages, so there may be somethin' wrong at Taunton/Prospero.  What does your pie chart show  (when you click on "Attach Files")?  The other member(s) got a "maxed out" message, but the pie chart clearly showed they have room.

   If the problem doesn't resolve, drop a line to [email protected] or post a message to Sysop at the Sandbox.

   Thanks, I'll do that. Yup, when I try to attach a jpeg, I get a message that I'm maxed out and can't post any more. But, when I add up all my previous attachments, I only get a total of 163KB which is far less than the 1000KB allocated. So, something's amiss.

   Jim,

   I've been maxed out on Delphi before which is the same setup as this. Even though it appears that you can clear up room from the attachment page, there you have to go back to your original pic posts and make room from them by deleting. Might be the same here as the set up is exactly the same.

   Jim

    I maxed out also trying to post a pic to Mark R. I took 5 down and am OK now, but my pie was full. I'm guessing the Prospero server needs to be swept out.

   Thanks to everyone who replied. I'm going to dump the files tonight.

   Just out of curiosity, for those of you who's "pies" are actually, truly full -- what's the average size of the attachments you uploaded?!  If they are generally between 20 and 50 KB or so, which IMO they should be, it would take an awfully long and active life at Prospero to fill up that pie.forestgirl -- you can take the girl out of the forest, but you can't take the forest out of the girl   ;-)

   Yes, it's definitely screwed up. Yesterday, prior to my deleting about 60kb of attachments from their server, the pie chart showed no space available even though I had only uploaded a total of 163kb since Taunton made the switch to Prospero. Now, after deleting about 60kb, the pie shart shows about two-thirds available and the text says,"674MB available', Cryptically, another line of text says the allocation is 1954MB. Go figure. Good thing I don't have anything significant to post! Guess it's the curse of the Irish.
