Message saying RM Database problem?

[Primrose]

Just tried posting photos and there is a message saying RM has been notified.

Silly if I keep trying so can you please give an update when it is ready again?

Thank you.

Hi Primrose

I think there's problems with the server. The database is very full as there are lots of pics on this site... we're looking into getting more server space but obv. there's costs involved and it's something that'll take a little time.

We'll have a look and see if we can pinpoint the problem

Thanks x

Thanks

Can we help by deleting our old photos - say from 2 months ago?

[Oola]

Certainly, that would help to free up space. Only if you're happy to do so though... x

I have -

1. Gone into - My Control Panel.
2. Gone down list to - Miscellaneous.
3. Selected - Attachments
4. Clicked on boxes and used the - Delete - option.

I think that works but I haven't many photos to check so confirmation from you would be great.

Hope it helps.

I will also delete some of my photos to free up space. xxx

I have tried to delete some but can't delete the photos only the whole post. Please let us know how to delete just the photos.

I've removed quite a lot of my pics this afternoon, will do some more tomorrow Oola. xx

I didn't read Primroses last post properly (thought she was trying to put them on not delete). Read it again and followed instructions and it deleted the photos, thanks Primrose. I will do some more when I get time.

Hi Oola, I've removed a huge amount of my piccies, hopefully it opened up a bit more space. xxx

[dragonfly]

Gosh I didn't know I had put on so many, there were over 100. I have deleted most of them and just left the last few.

Hi ladies

Thanks for putting some time aside to do this. But I wanted to make sure you know that there's absolutely no obligation to take your pictures off.

Primrose have you since tried uploading some pictures again?

Hi Oola, I'm more guilty than most as I have been snapping away, but have since deleted a lot of them, after all we are not likely to re-visit old threads - hope it has helped.

[Primrose]

I have just tried again Oola - still getting same message.

Would be interested to know if you can attach one?

By the way I hope all is OK with you and your family. x

Hi Gen, I attached the piccies on the "Birds...." thread after I've noticed your posting on here, and didn't have problems. I've removed a huge lot of piccies. (I'd rather not say how many as you probably won't believe it....!) I hope it opened up some more space.
There's still quite a number of my piccies on site though. xx

Hi DF, go to your control panel. Then scroll down to "miscellaneous", select "attachements". Click the box next to the piccie you want to delete, click on "delete" and voila! XX
