Disk quota exceeded
If you receive this message then you have run out of hard drive space for your
memorial. You will not be able to create or edit elements until you have deleted
one or more elements that are already part of your memorial.
Picture elements can take up a lot of hard drive space. It's wise to first
reduce the size of the picture file by scaling its width and height with a graphic file editor
program on your PC before adding it to your memorial. This is especially important
if the picture file was made with a scanner, since most scanners can create picture files
that are thousands of pixels wide. It is recommended that any picture you use in
your web page be no larger than 600 pixels wide and 500 pixels high.
