That would be a good solution but I've zero idea of the work involved in setting something like that up. Maybe you could ask your ONLY FRIEND, ChattyG? 


That’s who gave me the idea fuck chops. But as a non IT person, I have no idea whether it’s a 5 minute job or weeks of work!

Well it requires knowledge of sql for a start, so it's not functionality that comes with invision forums, it's code that someone can overlay on top. 

 

So I think you and ChattyG need to SIT THE FUCK DOWN.

Tbh when it comes to deletions I want to keep as much as I can (for good or ill, honestly you should all be glad that some of the shite I got rid of recently isn't on the internet anymore) and only delete when necessary.

Scripted deletions of data is something I don't really want to deal with making and testing or cocking up. I'm happier putting in a bit of grunt work now so that this is a relatively easy maintenance job in the future and so that members can just get rid of their old images or whatever when they breach the allowance rather than having to go through 2000% of it.

eh? What did I miss?


I'm clearing out old attachments after consolidating member groups on the back end and realising that the old settings had absolutely no limits on how much stuff members could upload to the site via attachments, which is just nonsense when disc space issues is what was killing us early in the year. So there is a limit now.

 

I'm just sort of working my way through members tidying up since its easier for me than it is for you and this was me letting you know.

Could we maybe have a stickied thread in Gen Chat reminding senile old people like me what to use to host images? And please go ahead and trim my posts. I did make a start a while ago on my old images but then completely forgot. Thanks. Really appreciate all the work you put into this, Andrew. I feel like I’d be a bit lost without this refuge of (relative) sanity 


edit: might help if I actually tagged you in this post @Andrew
