OK, so what do I do now?

[xb-60]

I want to add to my build thread http://www.clubcobra.com/forums/all-...stage-2-a.html but I can't upload pictures.

I get this message...
"We're sorry, but you currently are over your quota for allowed disk space.
Please remove images from your gallery to free up more space."

If I can't add pics to a build thread that's been 'building' for several years now, ....what do I do?

Glen,

I have received the same thing a couple of times during my build. What I had to do was go back through my photos and delete the ones that were not as important. You can then upload new photos. I emptied out a whole album so that I could start some new changes photos. Not sure of any other way.

Learn to resize your pictures.

339 pictures x 1-5meg on the upload each, I can see where you ran out of space

Yeah, resize them. There is no value in having images much bigger than 800x600 posted in forums. The best photo resizer I've found is the one found in Nikons "ViewNXi" tool. It's for Nikon cameras but you don't have to have one to use it and the resizer can do a whole directory at once.

Bill, you're correct - 339 pictures.
As far as size of files, 95% of them are less than 300kB. They are definitely not 1.5MB.
I do know how to resize pictures

Cheers,
Glen

Glen,

You might want to try some of the different tools to save file space that are in various photo editing software packages. They will sometimes give you the ability to limit the color palette to 256 colors (or even less) which usually (not always) will not reduce the quality of the image on a web page. The option basically limits the color pixel depth to say 5 bits down from 32 / 16 / or 8. If your editor has this feature it will substantially reduce the size of your pic files.

Of course a 4 x 3 picture format will represent a 288 x 216 pixel image or 62,208 individual pixels at 72 dpi. At a color depth of 5 pixels that is 311,040 bits or a picture of ~38KB. The same image with 24 bit color wold be 1.49 megabits or 186 KB. Size and color depth are either your friend or enemy. Website pics rarely benefit from more than about 5 bits of color depth per pixel.
