Is there a way in PB to see the file sizes for attachments that were uploaded? There's no reason to upload a picture that is 20MB or even 3MB in size when it could have been just as easily been reduced and uploaded as a 300K JPG file or smaller, even at a high resolution like 1600x1200 which is more than enough for display on a screen. My typical SOTD picture is around 300K give or take a little at a resolution of 1600 pixels wide. You have to economize somewhere on storage space otherwise you're going to continue to go through this over and over again. Is there also a way to set a limit on attached file sizes?

In the admin section we can see file size. I will have to look and see the average size of files. I am also looking around for a new hosting site that is more cost effective.

So what does the group think here. I am looking into a few sites. Proboards does not allow moving the forum to a new host. Do we turn this into an archive like the original site and go somewhere that we can grow?

That would seem to be a sensible solution
