Help me post. File size too big.
« on: May 14, 2015, 09:53:49 pm »
Trying to post a question but I keep getting a message that my file is too big. I am using an I Phone. Any tech savy people out there that can give me a tutorial?

The pics on many hand held devices are too large for this site !!  Just reduce the pic size to about 2000KB and they should load fine !!  I have no idea how to do it on your phone but should be a way to make the pics smaller !!

YES, ..... those I-phones store humungus size pictures (24" by 36") .... unless you change the "setting" on them.

My friend use to send me I-phone pictures via e-mail .... and they were so big I couldn't see them on my PC .... unless I saved them and then re-opened them with my photo program (MS Digital Image)

So reduce them down to ... standard e-mail size ... and they will upload. But remember if more than 1 picture ... the maximum upload per post is 3000KB

I had the same problem. I used a photo resize app on my phone. Good luck.

Photo edit will help too. Get rid of all excess background in photo. That will also lower size. Resizing is the best option though.
