Hi,
Browsing through my account settings I found that ALL my uploaded attachments are stored. Although I can clear them, what is the purpose of storing them as I cannot reuse or reference them in new posts again. Does this not clutter up the server and storage?
Just interested...
Why store attachments?

If they would be removed from the server, other users wouldn't be able to download them...
Best wishes,

About clutter: in the 3 years and 8 months of the existence of Eileen's Lounge, we have accumulated 479 MB of attachments, and the size of the Lounge database is 157 MB. Together, they wouldn't even fill one CD, so storage is not a problem.
Best wishes,
