Hi fellas!
I'm not sure if it's possible but am I allowed to get more space for storing my photos on the Armorama website?
I'm running a build log thread called 'SAS Pink Panther Build Log' under the softskins heading at the moment but I don't think I'm going to have enough space for all the photos I want to submit.
Can you help, please?
Thanks.

Joe.

Hi Joe,

there's two possible solutions for your problem:
1) become a member and subscribe. This will increase your storage. Click on "settings" to see more.
2) find an external storage site, such as photo bucket and link your photos from there.

HTH!
Cheers!
Stefan

F.Y.I. - This same problem will rear its' ugly head again as you once more fill up your allotment of storage space on the Armorama site. Better to use one of the free photo posting sites which will afford you much more storage space.

Just a suggestion.

O.K. So here is the next question. How many photos will fit in the gallery? I have almost 800. How many more can I stuff into it? Jeff T.

Not sure Jeff.
My photobucket photo library, used only for my builds, has over 2200 photos.
try to use both, Kitmaker Gallery & an external account.
When one is full you'll use the other...

if you are a subscriber, Im not sure anyone has ever reached a limit on gallery storage...

the other huge advantage to being a subscriber is you can turn off (hide) the advert bars on the left and right sides of the screen, look in your profile settings

I agree. I have close to 600 photos in my gallery and when uploading it tells me I still have almost 100% of my allotted space free.

Now whether using the gallery (uploading one at a time up to 10 pics at a time, lnking to the forums, moving and deleting photos) is easy or instinctive - well that's a whole different issue. I'm still hoping that one day there will be an update there. But for now I'm used to it and happy to go forward with it.
