You've reached your limit for uploading images

Trying to post an image a few days ago I just got the message that I've reached my upload limit for images, and that I cannot post images any longer. What is even more surprising is that this applies to linked to images as well - even though they do not cause strain on the servers at all and is NOT uploaded to the servers. Just to be clear, I've cleared cash, logged out, logged in again and tried different threads as well as different images, and still the same result. This is not a temporary glitch. 

I've since read the rules very carefully and NO WHERE can I find the information that there is a limit to how many images I may upload or link to. 

With a community so based on pictures as the sims-community is this is make it or break it. I cannot take part in screenshot threads started by the gurus. I cannot upload images of my builds in threads asking for images. I cannot complete my projects of NoCC decades fashion. I cannot complete my story by using screenshots, nor start any stories in the future. In essence, I am unable to take part in a large part of what makes this community. 

EA_Cadeand EA_Nils I have written to you both privately on this matter and yet I get no answer. Is this really what it's supposed to be like?

    JesLet40 thanks for giving us some feedback on the EA Forums! There are still a lot of features we are currently working on including uploading images. The main challenge we are experiencing is moving towards allowing users to upload content, including images and pictures, without running into limits while still being able to monitor and moderate any images that may violate our Forum rules

    At the moment, we do not have any documentation regarding limitations on uploading images/files because the feature is still under development and can change over time.

    So in short, no this isn't what the EA Forums is supposed to be but we are continually tweaking our image upload feature to not only balance between being able to submit valuable content/imagery while ensuring uploads are safe and secure from violating imagery and potential spammers.

      Thank you for your answer. I've been in contact with EA_David who is helping me figure out what is wrong.
