Delete Attachments?

[LambChop]

???
I went to the "User CP", clicked on the 'attachments' -- I wanted to delete an attachment that is there -- but, I do not see anyway to do it?

I went to the thread -- which no longer shows the "edit" option -- so, how do I delete the attachment now?

Removing attachments can effect technical threads.

-{ Quote: "We don't delete old attachments as many of them may well be required to maintain the integrity of the information posted in old threads. For example, someone asks you a question and part of your answer is a screen shot. If you were to delete that attachment now, it could ruin the value of that answer. Just because something wasn't posted recently doesn't mean there aren't people still searching for the same answer who'd benefit from having that image still there." }-

How many attachements I can send per day? Yesterday I sent one attachement but when I tried to send second one, its status came as in process with the option to delete it. I tried again, same response, so I deleted one of my old attachements and then tried again and this time it was accepted.

Also there should be option to send more than 1 attachments in one thread.

afaik, u can only have one attachment per post/reply but if u can have multiple posts in a thread. for pics i just use imageshack however.

As to the error, if the error was "Attachment in Progress" then this thread explains the issue:

Sometimes people forget when they have many windows open, that in one window they have uploaded an attachment, but have not committed (posted) that reply, and they go to upload it again. That message means you have it already pending and you can back that one out if you wish.

-{ Quote: "Also there should be option to send more than 1 attachments in one thread." }-As WSFuser stated, you can only have one attachment per post, but there is no limit to the total number of attachments you can upload. If you need to show more than one attachment in a thread, then just reply with an additional post for each image you wish to attach.

Thanks, I got it. infact I use multiple tabs, this may be the cause.

Thanks for the reply -- it makes sense to me now -- my original thought was that I was, or could get into trouble by having Too Many attachments uploaded! :ouch:

Thanks to the rest of the replies in this thread -- many of my questions on the subject have been addressed! 8)

Thanks for the info and everyone's time!
;D
