It will take you to another page. On that next page on the left is "Miscellaneous" under that is "Attachments".

Click on attachments.

It will take you to your list of attachments, at the far right of each is a square radio box - check the ones you want to delete.

Then at the bottom of that list is the "Delete Selected" button.

Unless I'm doing something wrong, here is what that does for me:

That is a list of posts with a picture (attachment) in it. Deleting that seems to remove that attachment from that post, not the bank of pictures that can be found under 'manage attachments' in the advanced posting screen.

It is kind of annoying when you look at an old post and the pic is gone but I also understand how the server can be full of junk. But instead of leaving it up to an individual to delete what they think is old can the mods / people in charge just wipe everything after X number of years? How much server space can be saved by deleting everything 10 years old? 5 years?

Get a new DNS server.

Any plans to fix this? Judging by all the threads about this going back years, I'm guessing this site is more like a beater pickup truck being driven until it dies.

Logging out and back in worked well enough to visit 3 links before getting the error again.

Thanks, but this isn't a client-side cache issue. Out of the 100s of thousands of websites I've visited in almost 30 years, this is the only one that gives me this problem. I understand maintaining the website is a low priority, and I barely come here anymore so it's a low priority for me too. But it's still annoying when I get an email alert for a thread I'm following and it errors out every time I click the link. But meh, whatever.

Oh, and I had to log into a private window to reply, because I kept getting the "502 Bad Gateway" error because of course.
