jeffryfisher Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 After replacing my map several times, my quota is mostly used up. I was careful to delete each old version before attaching the new one, but the quota was eaten as if the old files are still there. Is there any way to clean up the deleted files so I can get quota back? If not, then my next upload could be my last :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwizz Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 You should be able to clean off old files. I'll check that tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwizz Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 You should be able to clean off old files. I'll check that tomorrow..Where did you see the quota? I have not posted an attachment yet, since the forum was moved. That might be why I don't see a quota listed for attachment limits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That might be why I don't see a quota listed for attachment limits.The quota and used portion show up as part of the upload process. IIRC, I saw it as part of the confirmation.

jeffryfisher Posted June 15, 2011 Author Share Posted June 15, 2011 I just tried to check my quota again, and now I can't even find the controls to add an attachment. Have attachments been disabled in this forum? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwizz Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 I just tried to check my quota again, and now I can't even find the controls to add an attachment. Have attachments been disabled in this forum?It should work. MR Hinton dropped by a few days ago but I don't think he would change that. Maybe he did.I'll see if I can get a hold of Gobalopper.I JUST TRIED TO ATTACH A TEST FILE AND IT SEEMED TO WORK OK. I DID SEE THE LIMIT COMMENT. I WONDER IF THERE IS A LIMIT FOR THE TOTAL SIZE OF ATTACHMENTS IN ONE THREAD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawk Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Apparently there's no way to delete your own post here, so I edited this post accordingly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffryfisher Posted June 17, 2011 Author Share Posted June 17, 2011 Okay, I have a theory: Attachments are allowed in the maps forums (where I get attachment controls below the editor window), but not here in the general forum (where I don't).In any case, my quota is almost used up even though I've been deleting and replacing versions of my US History map, not piling them up. How do I clean up the detached files and/or recover spent quota? If I can't solve this problem, then the next file I upload may be my last.

He hopes to find some time to improve the download program.Hawk's login problem was fixed as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterHinton Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 It should work. MR Hinton dropped by a few days ago but I don't think he would change that. Maybe he did.I'll see if I can get a hold of Gobalopper.OK- I don't understand the reference; I don't think I can change anything... ??? Plus as I write this there is a green band above the edit window that says "! This post will need approval from a moderator before this post is shown. This restriction will be lifted when you have 1 more approved posts"so, what did I break now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gobalopper Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 We implemented the first post needs moderator approval requirement to prevent spam from showing up. That way when a spammer signs up they have to get a post approved before anyone but moderators see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawk Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Let's see if this works, now that I have more than 2 posts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawk Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 This will be the 4th post since I registered as a new user and the posts still need approval.It seems this option setting isn't working right. I understand using it as I use it at both of my forums. Someone needs to look into it though and possibly correct any settings options.

Hawk Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 It would appear the post count isn't incrementing for the Ghola group, which might explain why after 5 posts (including this one), and in MisterHinton's case -19 posts, approval is still necessary.

Andrew Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Yep I see the problem. Hopefully something done about it by weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gobalopper Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Should be fixed. The setting to count posts wasn't turned on for any of the Terminal boards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawk Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Looks like it's fixed. :DI can now post without approval. Thanks Jesse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gobalopper Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 I've started on the new downloads section:http://forum.dune2k.com/files/category/53-the-terminal/Let me know what you think. Gwizz do you want to help manage the maps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 I clicked on link.1. the white background in areas is hard on eyes.2. I clicked on moderation, said no files awaiting review etc, I'll just let gwizz or whoever knows more about RT deal with that.3. At bottom of page I see:Lombardei.zipBy GuestToday, 06:49 PM A guest was able to upload a file!?!? (and they didn't need approval first?) I would think virus or something. Should definitely change that and make it so only registered users can (and they need to be approved or have couple posts on forums before being able to upload.)Ignore #3, I'm now guessing it is labeled "guest" from long time ago, and Gob or something just re-uploaded it to new software/server thing.

Gobalopper Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 The bad background is caused by the FED2k skin being out of date. And it is listed as guest because the files were imported. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gwizz do you want to help manage the maps?Sure, I enjoy doing that. I seem to have lost my ability to do this when the forum was moved or I'm a slow learner.

Gobalopper Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 I've updated all the RRT3 maps but still have to do the RRT2 ones.Gwizz, or anyone else, can you test them out and let me know if you see any problems?http://forum.dune2k.com/files/category/62-railroad-tycoon-3/I will get you trained on the new system once I have it fully working. :) Right now the thumbnail view seems to not always be working.

Hawk Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Does this mean you're going to be eliminating the library at The Terminal, and the web site completely? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gobalopper Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 I won't be eliminating the website but the map database will likely change somewhat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
