Post by Mr.Chips »

Cannot find out how to add photos to this forum, every time I try to upload attachments I then get a blank screen and I lost ALL of my text I typed in.

Help.

If the photo is larger than 2MB it will fail.

You can make the file smaller by:
resizing it using the Paint program that comes free with Windows. Usually changing it to 640x480 will work fine.
resizing it using a free online image resizer. Use your favorite search engine and look for online image resizer free
On an iPhone you can email the image to yourself and you will get the option to select a smaller file size.

In most versions of Windows, I use ver. 7, you can right click on the photo and get a menu with a variety of options. One of them is "Resize Pictures". This is a very quick and easy way to resize for posting on this forum.

What browser are you using ? Even if the pictures are to big you still should get a pop up box so you can select the picture to add, as others have said you may need to resize the picture plus check it is an allowed file format, some file formats are not allowed for upload but can't remember which. JPEG should be alright though I would have thought :lol: :lol:
