tansqrx 0 Report post Posted January 15, 2009 Is there a way to request extra attachment space for posts on Xisto? I have used about half of the 500k in response to coding posts. A good example is http://forums.xisto.com/topic/96547-topic/?findpost=1064397808 where I created a Visual Basic.NET project to answer a question about listviews and also uploaded a screenshot to show what the finished project looks like.I understand the limit is low to prevent abuse but I am requesting a special exception for myself so I can continue to provide robust answers to questions that are best answered with a coding sample.P.S. I have -47 MyCents when I had a surplus yesterday. Is there a glitch in the system? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even though not everyone uses this options, we must look at it from a theoretical point of view. The current attachement space is 500kB - multiply that by 26000 members, and you get approximately 13GB. If you doubled it... Ouch.That is why it is always recommended to use free hosting services for such files - for example, ImageFilez for images, and https://www.sendspace.com/ for other files.

pyost 0 Report post Posted January 17, 2009 I am aware of that, but as far as I know, IP.Board has no such option Also, it would be unfair towards other users - we are all equal here Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
