I have been trying to put a screenshot of andsomes ( could this be the cause :D )on this forum and have been unable to, after a while all i get is this...

" The total filespace required to upload all the attached files is greater than your per post or global limit. Please reduce the number of attachments or the size of the attachments."

The screenshot is 1.4 MB.

TIA john

After clicking the Print Screen button. Open Paint and click paste. Then click Save As, and ensure that you select to save the file as Jpeg. When you want to upload, click on the browse button at the bottom of the Window and click on the file wherever you have saved it. Then click to post.

Cheers mate sorted it now, i use a free program called Gadwin print screen ( very good, saves all that cut an paste, it puts it straight in my pics ) and it was saving as bitmap, changed to jpeg, now should be OK :D

That was the problem. Any one attachment can only be a total of 200kb. This is more than enough to post a jpg or gif file at 1280x1024 resolution.

Their are a couple of reasons for this restriction, manly bandwidth. If someone on a dialup connection were to view that post, they would have to wait a long time for the picture to show up, and then be disappointed that it was only a pic of Andsome!

The above could also have an affect on the bandwidth available at NP. If multiple attachments were posted of that size, and loads of people viewed them, the bandwidth would be used up, and NP would go offline!

Thanks for the reply, it just confused me with the attachment space left 4.76mb and the attachment was 1.4MB. Is there a difference in mb and MB ?
