Anybody know how to get more storage space for PM's and photo uploads?

I inquired a while back about donating to the forum, but never heard back.

All I want is to not have to edit a photo before uploading it. The site can handle that...

Users are given 700 PMs storage which really should be enough for the vast majority of individuals who are not vendors. Appreciate the thought with donations but we currently do not have in place a pay for more storage option.

The reason we limit file size and resolution is because it bogs down site resources, particularly with photo heavy threads. It's a balance with having a pleasant user experience. Max file resolution/size is at 1900x1900 and 1.9MB max. We can increase it to 2.4MB if that would help but really not going to push it much more than that.

I think you could get away with max resolution of 1080p if you wanted to, just integrate something that automatically resizes images. Sure it is nice to upload high res, but most of it is just posting the pic and high res could be uploaded somewhere else on their own.

I appreciate it. I am a regular here and I still would like to contribute. Please pass along contribution avenues via PM despite the fact my PM box is just about full.

Thanks for the great site!
