Unable to post pics help needed

[One Gun Andy]

What does it mean when you receive the message below when trying to download pics to a Swappin and Sellin post?

castboolits.gunloads.com says
thumbnail_IMG_2160.jpg: Exceeds your quota by 66.9 KB. <a
href="misc.php?do=attachments" target="_blank">C;icl here to view
your attachments</a>

What is my "quota" and how do I correct this so can continue to post items for sale?

Thanks for any insight!

I upload photos from a desktop computer using Windows 8.1, and have never had an issue. However, over the years I've read many complaints/questions such as yours and the problem always seems to be that the pictures are too large. I think the message "exceeds your quota by 66.9 KB" is a clue that you have that problem. This often seems to originate from using phones as cameras. Exactly how to correct the problem is unknown to me, but I think if you have patience one of the Mods will help with some technical advise. Also, a search of the website's archives may have what you need to know, as like I said, the problem has come up and been answered in the past.

Thanks DG.
I am indeed trying to use a camera phone for pics, but my Iphone is a senior model and rated low on the camera scale.
Our son is an IT manager and has tried reducing the images to their lowest printable quality level, and still they don't load here once I've received this message. He believes the error is at the website end.
I thoroughly enjoy the interaction on this page, and am not trying to get rich selling here; I just have a lifetime of 'stuff' that I'll never use again and would love to it be put to good use.
Thanks again!

Thanks Minerat! I'll go through these.

Each person has a quota of pictures that he can post online in the site.. the quota has to do with attachments.

You can see what you have done in the past and how many pics you have posted towards your quota by clicking on your username in the upper right hand corner of the screen. That takes you to your user control panel. Then scroll down to the bottom and look at the lower left where it says attachments. When you click on attachments, you will see your quota, where you can manage your castboolit images …..

Markopolo, Thank you for the so-easy-a-chimp-could-do-it instructions!!! This has been driving me nuts for months. ...OK, yes, I was already nuts or wouldn't have been here in the first place...
What a great bunch of guys!

I'm in the same boat as One Gun Andy. Lots of stuff I need to sell but also need to include pictures to justify the condition some of this stuff is in. Got a friend helping but his time is limited and has no experience posting stuff for sale.
