Clearing your cache, closing your browser, and restarting your computer as @Kevin suggested, is where I'd start. I might also suggest going into your account settings and reset them, even if it means resetting them to the same settings. I only say that because I have first hand experience with strange things happening because of a mysterious change to my settings. There's probably no connection but it might be worth looking into. Disclaimer: Just tossing out ideas without any knowledge of which I speak. Cleared cache and now all good, thank you very much. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! @Drew, you can also add a post to the 'Site Problems' pinned to the top of the "Help with ID" page. Cleared cache and now all good, thank you very much.

It's okay, it must be hard to keep up with two moderators and a pretty prolific spammer. To be clear, I wasn't blaming you for taking so long, just letting you know when it happened. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I wish the spammers would consider our schedules LOL! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IKLland Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 I’m getting very close to hitting the attachment limit, @aveschapinas @Kevin, there’s no way to get around it other than by creating a new account, right? I’m not going to be able to embed all my photos from ebird, as there are some that I don’t put on ebird or don’t have on there just yet. Screenshots are a a other thing.

The limit was raised once but I don't think that will happen again. You could host your photos on another site and link them here. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL I guess I can't invite you over for breakfast then; my usual chard, plantains, beans, fruit, and whole-wheat bread might not do it for you. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
