Title: The upload folder is full
Post by: Sooperknot on May 16, 2013, 09:22 pm
So I wanted to upload an amusing comic to my other thread -- yeah, that one! And F U guys who don't agree with me, you're all just elitist haters and stuff!

Anyway, my attachment image is a teeny tiny little black-and-white JPG -- it totally meets all the size requirements for post attachments, but I get an error message:

The upload folder is full, try a smaller file or contact an administrator.

I don't want to PM DPR, he's probably very busy storming a castle somewhere.  Can somebody fix this?

I may be wrong but I think this is done on purpose. I've never seen anyone use the forum uploads before. DPR probably did it for security reasons. You can use 'anonymous' clearnet uploaders or slightly safer, use a tor image upload service. You can find a few around if you search and then you can post it.

Hi Sooperknot,

Yes, DPR is busy storming MANY castles. Doesn't sleep. That's a known fact. Regarding your issue, we don't allow uploading of files here for security reasons so the upload folder has a max size of.. well.. zero.
Sorry about that!

Feel free to upload it to a .onion upload site though and link it; you'll find mention of a few of them in the Security section. :)
