If you have a moment

could you have a look to see why I cannot upload 6 micro images of approx 8kb each!!!! and get a message stating exceeds forum quota by of 1.2GB ????
totally confused.
Sum of pics owned by me is currently zero bytes ! so scratching my head as to how I could have exceeded quota.
Maybe a bug in the 'pipes'?
thank you
Bertrand

I assume you're trying to put up pics via the web site as opposed to using a Photo hosting
site for support? I use SmugMug, a pay photo hosting site. Seems to work well and pics almost never dissapear in future.

Grant will know the answer to this ... meantime I'll stick with SmugMug for $35 a year.

Problem with SmugMug and other hosting sites is that if you don't pay, your photos go away! And that sucks, so we provide REASONABLE attachment options to the photos don't disappear. Our system resizes photos automatically to a reasonable size so no huge issue.

Glad you have sorted it. Thank you

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
