Odd, I deleted the upload limit photo above from my album, but it still seem to show up here... for how long?

@madpogue, can I suggest an experiment.

You have ONE photo under Lotus. Can you try deleting that single photo, as well as your entire Lotus album?

Then, see what happens.

I’m not able to create new albums maybe cuz I’m a free user?

also something new, I can not click ‘share’ to copy the pop up url to paste into a thread. I can do that from my work computer but not from home

CliffordK

Creating albums shouldn't be a problem with "free". I can create albums as long as I have 99 or fewer photos.

I think I've observed some newbies with < 10 posts also creating albums.

My interpretation is that users with ONE album are able to upload an infinite number of photos.

Users with two or more albums seem to be limited. @madpogue is hitting that limit at 150 photos (2 albums, paid). I'm hitting the limit at 100 photos (10 albums, free, expired).

Unfortunately rolling back my albums from 10 back to 1 would be a hassle.

You may well be blocked from creating new albums because doing so would throw you over the limit of the number of photos.

Do you still see the photo: "Warning you've reached your upload limit"? in post #24? I've deleted that photo from my album. So, I have no ability to independently manipulate it. Or, is it cached, and I'm simply seeing the cache?

I don't use the "share" feature you've mentioned. I simply click on the images to open the full sized view, then copy and paste the URL, then add in [img][/img]

The last time I deleted all the photos in an album, the album disappeared, and I was unable to create another one, for the exact reason this thread exists. The only reason there's a second album now is that the forum software, mysteriously and evidently randomly, created a second album called "My Post Pictures". So no, I'm NOT going to delete or empty out any existing albums. At least it let me rename the album.

What I might try is post all the photos I intended to upload to that album to a dummy post here on this thread, then move them to the mysteriously-appeared, now-renamed album, then delete the post, and see if the photos survive as stand-alone album photos.

CliffordK

If you click on the Insert Image icon, it creates the "My Post Pictures" album and puts your photo there.

That hasn't worked for me for EONS. It asks for a "URL", and won't upload from my computer.

I'm pretty sure that worked shortly after the implementation of the cimg2.ibsrv.net, and discouraging using "attachments".

& Newbies seem to be able to get photos uploaded (without getting them attached to messages).

I am happy enough manually uploading photos (although that is also why I have several albums), and thus I haven't worried about attaching using that button, but go directly to my album/gallery page instead.

It looks like I got 40 photos uploaded to "My Post Pictures" before I lost the ability to add more.

Edit:

I deleted one photo from My Post Photos, and still get the "Upload from URL". Also renamed My Post Photos... still NADA

CliffordK,

I have uploaded an image on to your misc album (it should say IB test) and created a new album. Both times I did not get a "you've reached your upload limit" message.
Are you using a phone when you upload?

CliffordK

Try uploading 2 or 3 photos. I think I deleted two.

IBanna

Hi CliffordK,

I have brought this issue up to my tech department.

IBanna

Update!

It seems like there is a upload limit to registered users for albums. The post photos also count into the album.
The previous limit was 100. Which explains the upload limit for everyone. I have raised the limit for users to 1000.

madpogue 

Still getting the upload limit message.

IBanna

Hi madpogue,

I was just able to upload two images on your existing album and create a new album with a few images.
When are you getting this message? Can you send a screenshot? You may need to clear your cookies due to the reset in the system.
However you shouldn't be getting the message since you are a titanium level member and your upload limit is 10000.

madpogue 

So I tossed my cookies, and BOOM, it worked! Thanks @IBanna .

IBanna

Glad to hear it worked !

rumrunn6

yes I got that upload limit msg when I tried to create new albums
thanks for the suggestion about sharing. lets see if that works

hmm guess not. looks like I don't have the enlarge icon/option

madpogue 

^^^^ try a slash between the square brace and the "i" in the closing tag.

CliffordK

Odd, something is different about your albums than mine.

Start with my "Gallery:"
https://www.bikeforums.net/g/user/392454

Select an Album
https://www.bikeforums.net/g/album/13031659

Select a photo:
https://www.bikeforums.net/g/picture/14473244

Click on the photo (enlarge). (somewhat randomly either get a popover, or it will open the image).

Right click on the image and select "copy image location".
https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...3df30fa60f.jpg

Insert it in the img tags (without the bolding). The system automatically puts in the ellipsis... which isn't actually there.

@rumrunn6's gallery:
https://www.bikeforums.net/g/user/134410

Click on the one Album:
https://www.bikeforums.net/g/album/9664404

Click on the blue Thumb:
https://www.bikeforums.net/g/picture/9756276

I can't click on your photo again. Right clicking doesn't give me the option "copy image location".

I should be able to force it (at least in part), by right-clicking and selecting "View Page Info".
Then select "Media".

Hunt for the thumb. Then right click and copy.

https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...4a2964a6c3.jpg

Again put it in the img tags.

It says I'm only getting a 10kb image. 320px × 279px. I don't know if that is original or not. It may be just the system's preview size.

I don't know why your images aren't clickable. What size are your uploads normally?

Another topic?

CliffordK

Oddly, I'm having troubles clicking on my Goat Head to enlarge.

I've gotten a few timeouts lately, but that is the first time I've repeatedly gotten that error "the requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later."

IBanna

Hi rumrunn6,

You have 1900 pictures which is above the upload limit.
I have changed the limit for registered users to 3000.
Please clear your cookies and cache first an it should work now.

Rollfast

If I have an album I didn't create it! It looks to be autogenerated and what's up with that???

rumrunn6

yeah I have anew album too. my new uploads are going in there. which is OK by me

CliffordK

I've been manually dragging and dropping images to albums, then manually attaching the images to posts for quite some time now. It seemed to work better/easier for me.

Thus, so far, just over a dozen albums (and no new mystery ones).

The issue of vanishing album names still exists.

IBJoel

"My Post Pictures" is automatically created when you upload pictures to a post

madpogue 

Hmm, new wrinkle. I wanted to include an existing pic in a new post. Typically I just find the picture in my "My Post Pictures" album, and include it in the new post with IMG tags. But this particular pic is not in my album. It's still there in the original post - https://www.bikeforums.net/21174225-post188.html . I checked my other albums, and it's not there either.

The pic does have a valid cimg7.ibsrv.net address, so it's "there" somewhere. But it's kind of an orphan, since I can't find it anywhere within my gallery. Is there any way that it can be "adopted" back into my gallery?

Don't know if this has happened with any other pics I've uploaded recently. I don't think it's happening to all my recent uploads, because I do see some recent uploads in "My Post Pictures". So this may be the only orphan.

IBJoel

It's in your "Lotus" album: https://www.bikeforums.net/g/album/14735494

Looks like it probably just got moved on accident.

madpogue 

Ah, the one folder I didn't check; thanks Joel.

Testing ....

Okay, now they're going to "My Post Pictures". Exceedingly doubtful I moved any "on accident". Looks like all my post-associated pics between roughly mid-August and November 2019 went to my Lotus folder as I posted them. I would have had no reason to take just a particular set of pics, from a particular range of dates, and move them.

If I move them now, that won't change the URL, correct? So existing references will still work? Will just make it easier to find them later if needed.
