Registered Members who use the site for free are entitled to upload and store pics on the site's server as attachments in posts, up to a maximum of about 128 Megabytes of server space per member.

Any free Registered member can tell how much space on our server their pics are consuming, by looking at top of the file attachment manager window, each time they attach a pic to any post or thread,

Attachment 71027

Contributing Members (click here) are entitled to unlimited picture uploads and file storage to the site.

Both membership classes may manage their picture storage under User Settings (click here), which can be be viewed by clicking the link titled Settings at the top right corner of the web site.

Once you select and view your personal settings, you can select Attachments and delete attachments you have used in past posts, to free up space for more post attachments.

Unfortunately, when you delete attachments you’ve previously posted under past threads, it may confuse and create contextual problems for other members reading your old posts, particularly if they don’t realize you have deleted previously posted pictures, however, that is your decision.

Although it's entirely your choice, since both of you are such a prolific participants on the site and post a lot of content for the benefit of all members, perhaps consider becoming Contributing Members and enjoy a substantial wide variety of other benefits.

Contributing Members

Although the Military Surplus Collectors Forums are FREE to everyone interested in our chosen hobby, members of this special group are people who have graciously chosen to voluntarily donate a nominal amount of money, to help defray several thousand dollars in annual system bandwidth, server, disk storage and maintenance costs.

This group of members receive additional recognition and access capabilities to MILSURPS.COM, such as a colored "Contributing Member" banner panel under their name, a unique color display of their chosen username, unlimited picture uploads and file storage on the system, ability to delete their own posts, a substantial increase in private message storage to 2,000 PM's, plus other general priority based conveniences. In addition, Contributing Members enjoy value added services such as no limits to classified ad posting in the Quartermaster Stores (click here), plus substantially increased on-line image storage hosting for their personal pictures in the Photo Gallery (click here) area of the MILSURPS.COM server (similar to PhotoBucket). One of the most appreciated benefits of being a "Contributing Member", is that this membership level is NOT exposed to reading Google Ad-sense, or other types of banner advertisements on the site. Finally, they have full access to the private Milsurps 'Team' Forum, a private forum for the Milsurps Advisory Panel and Contributing Members, where we make available private downloads of military history magazines, books and other gun related publications, as well as show high quality full length feature films, not available in the general public forums.

The other choice any free Registered Member has, is to use an external photo storage site such as PhotoBucket, then use the IMG (put picture link here) [/IMG] image tags to display them within your posts. The difference is that when a member views your pics in your posts here, those pics will be retrieved from your chosen Internet external photo storage site and shown, as opposed to being retrieved from your personal attachment storage on our servers.

Hope this helps explain things for you guys, as well as others who may not have discovered their own personal settings area, which each member can manage themselves.

Regards,
Doug (and Deb)
