I just tried to make a post, including an image but I got a message saying "You have used all of the attachment space you are allowed. Manage Attachments to free up space" ... seems I am at 202% (or something) of my limit .

Is this correct?

There’s a post by @Kiwi about this. I’ve just chopped mine down to 32mb and it took nearly two minutes of my life to do it. Happy to help @mods

Yeah. I did the same with a brew earlier - a lot of the threads I’ve posted in are like “no context bass addicts anonymous” but if it clears space…

Time to do it is not an issue nor the reason for asking…. I’m thinking more that it may make old posts and thread’s unreadable. So probably best to wait until the admin suggest a Course of action then I’ll go with that

I was doing a bit of spring cleaning and I noticed that one picture was taking up 3.3MB and, like many others, was called "image.png". I assume that was one that I pasted in from the clipboard rather than dragging an image file in, as I use JPEGs. So I went to the original image, cropped it as I'd done before, saved it as a JPEG, deleted the original image from the post by removing the attachment in the editor, and dragged the shrunken JPEG in instead. That saved about 2.5MB.

I noticed this too but to follow your suggestion for several images across multiple posts is not easy to do. If some sort of global conversion could be done in the back-end that would help a lot if that were possible.

I nearly understood all of that 😁
