It's because Rob hasn't increased the default size of the upload folder from the default.  If I recall the allowance is quite minimal to begin with.  It's up to the admin to increase it's size, so I would email Rob (or private message) and ask him politely to increase the limit.

In the meantime you could always link to photobucket images using the image button when you post a topic.

Yeah this is not about the size of your file - it's about the combined size limit for ALL files that get uploaded.   Think of it like a folder on your computer that will only hold so much data in total...

LS, not sure if I get the joke, but just so it is clear, it has nothing to do with your PC - it's all about how the forum is set up and yes Robert is the only one that can do it as he doesn't have admins or moderators  :o

hi freddy what i was joking about my folders was in reference to you explaining about a folder , but in my case i was joking making an exageration that my folders was unlimited in what they could hold and actually information was ( again exagerating , joking ) running out of the sides of my computer , i do understand that robert is the only one that can fix this problem , i just hope he checks his e mail often so it can be fixed , i don't know how long this upload picture problem has been going on . anyway i did send him an e mail so we will have to wait for robert to fix that !take care ! :)

No worries LS, I thought that was what you meant,  it's just that some times without being able to see people I'm not always sure how they mean something.  Thanks for the explanation !

 :D
