the other side Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 I've noticed the maximum number of kilobytes for me has declined from 179kb and is now 29.88 kb max. Can someone explain. I emailed administrators earlier today and no reply. It appears I won't be able to post or anything and don't understand what's happening and can't find any info in the rules etc...

jedzep Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 The fact that Gibson puts a governor on this forum greatly diminishes the potential contributions. If I want to connect to an unfettered sharing of info, I find other forums to be more open and informative, especially the Unofficial Martin Guitar Forum (UMGF). Gibson corporate has choked off this venue for ease of use and freedom of info sharing and access. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabs Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 You just need to use an image hosting site like most of us do to post pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By limiting the amount of data that the server is hosting the forum can sustain more members for a longer period of time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedzep Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 More isn't necessarily better. I guess that's my point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the other side Posted March 4, 2023 Author Share Posted March 4, 2023 (edited) I have noticed something when I sign in, is Facebook and Twitter and says it's quicker to sign in on. I don't do either of those. I'm wondering if they're transitioning again to where you have to go through one of them to get to this forum.? Also I can downsize photos/edit etc all the way to 40 kbs well under the max. But I guess is that right now, the maximum total size of this thread I'm typing they are allowing is only 29.88 kB. Anything beyond that limit, it won't take it. Thanks for the replies, hopefully a moderator or administrator will reply. Thx again. Edited March 4, 2023 by the other side Additional comment.

I think that's the answer, after I got to thinking about that. The max size I've noticed after posting only the written thread shows no kB usage.

Pinch Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 I can't believe there are people who don't know about image-hosting sites. Wait til I tell you about calculators, it'll blow your minds. Not having a good day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait til I tell you about calculators, it'll blow your minds. Not having a good day. Believe it or not, I was one! Never had a need for whatever a image hosting site was. I always wondered what the big deal about posting pics here was such a big deal with only hundreds of threads about it, and I figured out how to, then realized the kBs were descending and to discover what I thought was no problem, that I was actually a dying duck in a hail storm! Then yall came to the rescue and I had to learn real quick! I see what Tman did, so I'll try that when the time comes. I was glad I at least got the horse to water and I'd figure out how to make him drink later. Thanks to all once again!

Pinch Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 Now that I think of it, not knowing how to use image hosting sites probably means you've lived a fuller life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larsongs Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 I don’t care for Imgur so I signed up with another but forgot it’s name.. I don’t post very many Pics anymore.. Most Forums are too complicated & require outside Apps & there are too many steps to bother with.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
