MEMORY USAGE INFO

Post by BobDarkroom »

I posted a text on how to reduce memory usage by reducing the file size of attachments in the artwork section.
Please read it there.
Thanks.

I have always reduced everything I post to something under 400K before posting, and will continue to do so. It's no big deal really.
I know artists want to display their work in the best possible format, but if you have to scroll the screen to see the rest of the image, then it's too big imo. I would rather be able to see the entire image, than be impressed by the minute details the artist may have achieved.

Hello La Reine Margot (and Forum members)
Access to the Forum has been sketchy the last couple of days, with this error popping up more often than not:

Speculate that bots are pestering the forum again? Can you help, please?

Good point...
I'm guilty of posting large-ish files. Will have to do something about that.

Many thanks Margot, for keeping us afloat.

Likewise for me too!

I am hotlinking my pixs so no issue and clips are only links. Am I correct?

Is the problem a storage issue, or a bandwidth issue?

If it's a storage problem, then maybe we should look at why we store so many files that are rarely ever looked at.

A spring cleaning, and a reset perhaps?

I second that
