well technically we have a 120mb quota each according to individual profiles.

I think that what that quota means is that all of the users combined have 120mb. Which, when you think about it, is not very much at all.

We need much more then that. Can we have the portraits removed from the forums as they have entered the game, or at least have them as links to their place at the CVS repisotory(sp?), they take too much space...

I've upped the quota limit to 160 megabytes, but this situation probably can't continue indefinitely as Jexiste only provides us a fairly limited amount of space. Eventually I may run a script to delete attachments older than a certain amount.

If anyone has an FTP/HTTP server they can provide us access to which has lots of space, we can point the attachments module at that. I may eventually have to go through and delete old attachments that are large and appear to be of little value.

If anyone would like to volunteer for the arduous task of being the 'attachment manager' (having to go through and assess the value of attachments, deleting ones of low value, and keeping the attachments below the quota), please let me know. They would have to be a fairly trusted member of the community though.

Is there an easy way to do this without going through every post? I would voluntarily delete all of mine, since it is preventing me from uploading new pictures.

carefull, Dave

currently, the graphiclibrary directly links to the forum.

if attachments are deleted, they need to be backed up somewhere or art will be lost (and the GL will become useless)

That's why someone would need to be careful about deciding what is useful/needed and what is not and can be deleted.

Someone who is used to the forums, who pays it attention and removes stuff which are edits of someone elses, it's quite possible that they haven't used it but by the time they are talking about that wouldn't really matter.

I could do it, possibly, but I might have a lot less free time now than I've had in the past year, meaning I won't have time to do that and all the other wesnoth-related stuff I do.

If you don't find anyone else, I'll do it.

Wow! These are great images. Hopefully I'll have a chance to work on the scenarios.
However, the leader look too transparent, so I suggest to fill in the gaps or make him darker.

school has started for my whole famÃƒÂlia ahora, so we don't have mucho tiempo to work on the DE's, pero I'll try to work as often as I can.

Sometimes I feel like screaming nobody does listen to me. My Avatar was almost monochromatic but it works very well on a cave floor sometimes I know what I'm talking about.

This guy does know what he's talking about. Listen to him.

Go the Dark Elves, if they were living in the caves all their lives as what assasin wrote at the very begining than they should have white skin because they see barely any light. Though I am new to this i know my stuff

Personally, I don't care what color they are. As long as they have images, they're fine.

By the way, the campaign is going well except for one thing:

Assasin(scenario descriptions) wrote:From this point on, the defeat dialog, and what the Dwarves can recruit are always the same. The Dwarvish leaders are the only things that will change.

I think this will be boring!!!
