From Steve Good.

There are problems with the Community forum. For those of you who are members there please know that I am working on the issue. Most the the attachments for the posts such as pictures were lost. My hosting service allows unlimited storage but only if it does not cause the server issues. Apparently it was causing issues and they were only giving me a few hours to fix it or be shut down. I was trying to delete only the older attachments but they all got deleted. I'm trying to recover the lost images but no luck so far.

The size of the storage space for attachments adds up pretty quickly. I have to forum software set to delete post attachments after so many days but it does not seem to be working. I want to be able to continue to host the attachments on my server but if I can't get it worked out I may have to only accept offsite attachment hosting. Sorry for the trouble.

Steve Good

Photos - if they are allowed at all - are limited to 128 kbyte. You need to shrink the size or resolution. Steve has a Picture Resizer on his main page that works well. Microsoft Office also has a way to reduce picture size, and other online resources can do it.

If you want a better picture, you need to load it on another site like Google+ or PhotoBucket then paste a link to the site using the Mona Lisa button above (bottom left button - titled "Insert Image" if you hover over it). Then there is no limit since it doesn't load onto Steve's server.
