calculus1 Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 So, apparently, I've almost maxed out my allowed space for attachments. So, I went to delete some. The process is incredibly slow and requires multiple clicks. The most frustrating part is that I can't delete multiple items at the same time. Each image must be deleted one at a time. Is there any way around this? Could this feature be updated to allow multiple deletions at the same time? Thanks for any responses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxeyeNH Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 It's funny you posted this. I just came to the help area to ask the same question. I still have 50% remaining but can't find a way to delete multiple images. I have 23 pages. I can't delete one by one as it takes way too long. I just scrolled down and see other people in the past have the same frustration. No fix. So I guess from this point forward if you want to post an attachment you will have to delete one first...

Baroclinic Zone Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 This has always been an pain in the ass here. @Wow will have to chime in but that's always been the only way to remove images. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birdsofprey02 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Also, with the attachments... I made a video and attached it to a message. It posted as a link for people to download my video (which I had uploaded to the board). How do I embed the video in my post instead? or even a picture?

AMZ8990 Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 FOr some reason my pictures are having an issue completing the upload. It goes all the way to 100% loaded but then I get an error message saying the upload could not be completed. I have storage space to upload pics so I am unsure what the problem is. Can anyone help with this problem?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowtie` Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Have you tried resizing your images? A little phone screen does not need a 20 Meg image. Knocking it down to 140 K is plenty of resolution to look decent. A ton easier on your storage space also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AfewUniversesBelowNormal Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 I've deleted many times and am almost out of deletable images! Can I make a case for more space? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quincy Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 I have a couple of ideas for help clear out space for your attachments. If you want more space, consider funding the board to get more allowances... 1. Delete largest images first. When you go into images, click "sort by" and choose "size." Once you show the largest ones first, right click the delete button and "open" in a new tab. This will allow you to delete images over and over without the page refreshing on you. Yes, you'll have a bunch of tabs open that you'll have to press "delete" in, but this seems like a better option than going back and forth. 2. Delete old images too. Regardless of size, images that are no longer relevant (more than a year or two old and not in an important archived thread) can and probably should be deleted, assuming you want to maximize the space for your attachments. You can do the same thing, "sort by" and then choose "upload date." You'll have to get a little more creative to organize the list from oldest to newest, but one way is to change "desc" in the URL to saw "asc." Then you'll have the oldest images on the first page. Follow the same step and right click on the delete button to open in a new tab and go down the line. With that said, I'm sure many of us would find a way to batch delete attachments without the tricks mentioned above much more convenient... Even something as simple as checking a box to delete more than one image on a page at a time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wow Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 These processes are baked into the coding of the board software and I've read the complaints from other boards over this same issue. I have several other items I've voiced to Invision to fix as well. I'll see if there's a mod available but the software has been updated recently and they haven't touched this despite the complaints. I'd strongly suggest you don't use attachments to post images but use a third party like Imgur to host the file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
