Mike wrote:I am apparently not explaining the dilemma properly - I can see the photos in the gallery, but A. cannot delete them (there are triplicates of at least one, and B. cannot load any additional photos.
. . . if you would, please just erase any photos added in the last week to my gallery. . . .

I think your "Point B." has been covered--there are no limits to how many pictures you can upload, so long as each picture conforms to our forum's size standards.
But regarding your point "A," some time ago, I did find a way for an administrator to delete unused images from a user's gallery. Until now, I used this only to keep my own gallery clean. Per your request, I've just now removed unused images from your gallery as well. I completely understand the mindset that makes a person like you or me want to keep our galleries clean; this said, the amount of space used by un-posted images is pretty small; probably not worth much time or trouble from the admin team; so I hope that very few forum members will request this. (I'll share this protocol with the rest of the admin team--did not know it was a private find within forum software.
Cheers!

Hello Chris,
Thank you for your complete and cogent response - having started with computers rather early on (worked with mainframe IBM 1401 system starting in the mid-60s' and being an early adopter of personal computers (Sinclair/Apple I, etc.) learned early to be specially rigorous of storage capacity usage and find it a hard habit to break.
My current computers have terabytes of capacity, but I still regularly 'weed out' dated/useless files - blame that on my OCD personality!
At any rate, with the cleanup of my gallery and the advice there is more than enough space, I will blithely add photos as required for my posts.
BTW - note you are listed as being in OH - I am in Chardon, SE of Cleveland.
Thanks to you and all the moderators for your mostly unacknowledged efforts.
All the best,
Mike
ps - having literally had the lenses in my eyes replaced (the second one this morning) hoping to be improving my microphotographs!
