Can anyone, Mod, site designer, member please post a "how to" for uploading photos. I have typed a post, clicked on Upload a file, when it has uploaded I get an error message saying the file is too big.????? it's only one photo !! Does it need reducing in size? if so HOW? Never had a problem with the old site, grumble, grumble, grumble.:(

I'm not sure about this. I've asked @accyroy to have a look
 
Which means??????

Erm. ....what it says pretty much :p

Roys been tinkering to try and get things how folk want for the last two weeks. Part of that was bumping up the max pic size which he did.

Last Friday it dropped down again, I don't know why....A bug or an unintended consequence of altering something else or maybe he knocked over his tinny?

I'm sure he'll be along to sort it when he takes a moment out of selfishly earning a living :)

this image's file size is 100 times smaller that the max upload.

some ideas :)

you could either stop using your camera's max resolution.
learn to reduce the file size
use an external service which reduces it for you
see if roy will add an addon which reduces files for you(though this may harm server performance)

(btw file size isn't the same as image size (in pixels)

It was a photo of two piggin syncro hubs I was trying to upload. I'm asking for advice on how to reduce file size, I am an old fart who isn't putor literate so there is now use telling me what to do without telling me how. You might as well be talking to me in Scottish. I never had this problem with the old site so do we put it down to progress?:mad::mad::) By the way, you are missing your front number plates.;)
