How can I make better use of my allowed site storage for pics?

I have to regularly purge my photos off the site to allow me to post fresh ones when I want to

user July_pi , who has thousands of stunning photos of custom guns on his thread doesn’t seem to have an issue!

what am I doing wrong ? ?

I upload mine to Google photos.  Then put them in a shared album.

From a PC you can then right click the image you want and paste the link directly into the post.  The advantage of this is full resolution too.

I haven't worked out how to get the link from a mobile.

This shouldn't eat into your storage allowance. 

Alternatively you can download an image resized app and upload them to the site.

That’s maybe another way around things for me

Currently, I take a pic on my year old iPhone and upload directly from that

My pics must just be too high a resolution, and swallowing up my allowance ??‍♂️

If that's how you're doing it then you'll only get a few tens of pictures into your account storage. 

 
Before uploading, resize them to the smallest you can accept depending on what its for.

High quality would be around 1600 and lowest 640

Note: You can delete photos from your storage and they remain posted in the forum.

I'm trying to clear some space and that link only takes me to a "something went wrong" message.

How can I delete my attachments.

Click on your “profile” at the top of the screen

Then “Account”

Then “My Attachments”

You can then see every image attached , from freshest to oldest date

I delete my oldest stuff first, leaving a couple of months worth of pish for other users perusal ?

 
Yeah, I get that too sometimes

I just refresh the page until it stops doing it

That's strange. I just tried the link and it works for me
