Disk Space
 

Ok my forum is only a few weeks old,and i'm worried about my disk space i'm thinking about upgrading because i'm just on a basic package but already i've used 142mb out of my 300mb
is this normal? its going up by like 5 or 10 mb everyday..i don't understand that.

There are many reasons you could be using more disk space daily, if you allow images in posts as attachments that can cause it, if you have users storing a lot old PM's that could also cause it, if your using post cache, that will also cause it.

300mb isnt a whole lot of space anyways.

Yeah i'm going to upgrade anyway.Just a bit worried and want to find out whats making it go up so fast.

How do i find out if im using post chache?

post cache is not a reason why it would grow so high...

are you permitting attachments on your site?!.. if so, you can limit the size of files, or the number of them, etc..

No ones posted any attachments.

I had passivevid installed there was a few videos installed,ive removed that but its not made much any difference.

Yes post cache, if your host counts your db size as part of your disk space, post cache will also be accountable for your db growing larger daily.

I never stated it accounts for all of your growth of disk space, but post cache does count regardless of what was said by the other poster.

so how do i find out if im using post cache?

You first need to find out what is using up all your disk space before doing anything else.
