Hi folks,a question with regard to this forum, I cant seem to share any photos, it always says the file is too big!
How can I get around this?

Cheers

Either resize them so they can be posted as attachments as this forum has quite a small size limit or host them elsewhere such as photobucket, flickr, etc

Also have a read of this how to pdf https://www.modelenginemaker.com/index.php/topic,4644.0.html

I believe the maximum attachment size is 1MB.  That isn't really that small and many forums I've been a part of have had similar (if not smaller) limits on image sizes. Sure, in terms of the size of JPGs captured by modern cameras it is small, but most cameras provide images over 5MB.  Large images like that take up a lot of server space and take a lot of bandwidth to download.  images of 100-200K provide plenty of resolution for our purposes and are much faster to load.  That's why the limits were put in place.

So as Jason says, just resize the image to something smaller 1024x640 is a good size.

If you are using windows 10, Microsoft has a very handy powertoys add in, which is a free download, and works very well indeed. There are a few extras included in powertoys, but the ability to right click on an image file and choose a new size is the most important function for me.
