We are dangerously close to (and at times exceeding) our disk space quota for AlpineZone.com. Much of the space is being utilized by the Images Galleries. I need to take immediate action to alleviate this problem. With that said, I'm going to delete all albums uploaded prior to 1/1/2004. Many of these albums include high resolution images which are contributing to the disk space problem.
In addition, I have implemented automatic image resizing for all future uploads to the Gallery. All images will be resized to 800 pixels for the longest dimension (either horizontal or vertical) and a maximum file size of 150 KB. These settings should still provide a reasonable image in terms of dimensions and resolution.
I apologize for having to purge the old albums, but exceeding the disk quota causes site-wide functionality problems beyond just me having to pay for more disk space. Also, the new Gallery settings should give us some more "shelf-life" for albums in the Gallery. Sorry for the inconvenience.
