I think I've seen a few people here frustrated that they can't share images by attachment because the boards are full. We were talking about it on another thread and someone kindly shared a method for finding your old images so they can be deleted to make space.
- Click Search in the menu bar, and in the first What to Search field, type "attachment".
- Under Who to Search, in the first field type your own Id. That will give you a list of posts.
- Open the post in a new tab (to keep your list, otherwise you have to keep running the search again) and click Edit, then Edit attachment (that's really important - if you just delete your photos from the thread, the attachments will still be there) and Delete.
- I usually edit my original post with {deleted to save space} so that people don't wonder where the photos are.
- Then Save.
Photos uploaded using the Add Attachment button are stored on this forum so those are the ones that need removing.
Photos uploaded via Tapatalk don't take up space on this forum, because they link to storage elsewhere. Pictures linked using the Image/link icon are also OK (Instagram, blogs, Fbk, Flickr etc are no problem). Chances are you'll know if you usually attach images because you will have recently seen the error message that the board is full.
