I bought some credits last year and spent some on additional storage space.

However, in the Admin Panel it says I've only got 20 MB free space - that doesn't sound like very much to me, especially as my forum is pretty big.

In my test forum, which is pretty much empty, it also says I've got 20 MB free space!

How do I know how much storage space I've really got?

How much free space is it advised to have in reserve?

hello

Servimg does not use storage.  Storage is only for attachments and/or the gallery.
If you use the gallery option, it uses storage space.  Servimg or whatever image hosting your forum has does not use storage space because they have their own storage space off your forum.

If you use attachments it counts as storage, you have 20 Mb free storage and when you fill those 20MB you won't be able to add more attachments, until you purchase more storage for your forum with credits.
All attachments (those free 20 Mb) will stay forever, until you delete them from forum.

Thank you skouliki (again!)

you very welcome 

Also buying Storage is a monthly think not yearly.
