Ok, I'm getting the beat down from my ma!!!

She is constantly riding me about NOT being able to upload pics, and all those crumby ads!!!

What do I need to do to "upgrade" our forum to have UNLIMITED photo uploading space and be AD FREE all month long?
is this even possible??

I've looked through stuff, but its all really confusing seeing different ad free amounts and upload limits...
for 50,000 ad free credits, I'm not sure how that works... like, how many would I need to purchase (on the ONE TIME payment) to go a whole month without any ads at all.

Also, to be honest, I don't really know the diff between the 25mb and 100mb (can someone tell me approx. how many pics would each mb hold??)
Basically, how much a month would it cost me and are the attachment money amounts for a ONE TIME payment or PER MONTH (the ad free tells but the attatchment one doesn't-I don't want to pay and then be billed each month without knowing it).

Also, does upgrading REMOVE the "smfforfree" from our

Sorry for so many questions , but thank you in advance to anyone that can help me.

Sibyl, Thank you so much for your help... I guess it does make sense that there is no way to tell how many pics, cause pic sizes do vary. 

I'll give my ma a call and give her this info this evening.
Thank you so much.

You can buy a custom domain and park it at your forum.

SMF for Free takes care of the upgrades and will do so as he feels they are needed.
1.1.5 was a very minor upgrade and not a huge necessity - no new features.

Uploading packages, installing mods , is not available - free forum hosting services generally do not allow that.

Nope, sorry.   You could check the Codes Index to see if someone wrote a code for that..  Im not sure

You can limit which Membergroups have access to boards.
When you set the boards up checkmark only the Groups you want to access them.
