Picture posting question....

faeriemoon — Sun, 26 Feb 2023 14:59:04 GMT

I probably won't get back to my computer until later this afternoon, but I would appreciate any help I can get with this question. When you want to post a picture and the red box comes up telling you the file is too large, is there a way to adjust it so it will accept your photo? TIA

@faeriemoon I had trouble posting and getting the too large file message also. For some reason file size seems ok since I retrieve my pics differently. I go to files, click on a left hand drop down menu & go to gallery and then choose the pic. I have an android Samsung.

If the picture you want to post comes from your own file then you'll need to edit it so it will fit inside the forum's picture format. If the picture is from a website, for instance, then you'll need to save it in your file and then edit from there first before it will fit the format here.

Does anyone know what Turn on batch processing means under images?

I have problems trying to add pictures myself. I'm not even sure how I got my avatar up. LOL

@rockygems123 Thanks so much for the information; I will give this a try. It doesn't seem to complicated, LOL.

My apologies for not getting back to you and everyone who has responded. My weekend was kind of crazy.

@SilleeMee Thanlk you. I will add this to my list of things to try. I think I may have somehow stumbled across this on my own eons ago, but I forgot about it. Thank you for the reminder. Fingers crossed!

@KBEANS That's a new one! I've never received that message, and it's a good thing because I wouldn't know what to do about it!

@faeriemoon This is exactly why I stopped posting pictures. I get the red box all the time and never got this before...it takes too much time to adjust the picture size.
