    I want to upload some pictures for attachment but it couldn't be done, it just says that its already full. How can I delete old picture attachments in my past posts so that I can upload attachments in my new posts if I want to? :rolleyes: o_O

    What is the exact message you get when you try to upload an attachment?

    Even tho you have deleted the post....I believe what the message was saying was that you had already uploaded that attachment file name ?

    I don't think that will work because I've tried that on numorous occasions. Seems like the forum recognizes whether you've used the actual picture.

    Resize the picture and give it a new name.

    There is a checksum routine involved in the verification of duplicate files. It may only be effective for some filetypes, but I'm not sure. The other common error is having the file uploaded in one browser window, but having not yet made the post. Then when you try to Manage Attachments again in another window, and upload the same file you get an error saying "Attachment in Progress". See this thread about that:

    Yes, that would do it since that would change the file and therefore it's checksum.

    I couldn't remember exactly the message...:rolleyes: but it says something like I have already reach the quotas of attaching pictures and then it shows the lists of the pictures I have attach on my past posts. :doubt: Are there a quotas in attaching pictures in this forum?

    Anyway, I have just tried it again to upload and attach picture and I was surprised... I have succeeded in attaching my pictures on the posts. :D :eek:

    Well, maybe, the possibilities of errors...sometimes it happens. Thanks for the quick reply. ;)
