Title: Attaching photos to posts
Post by: debbigord on April 01, 2015, 07:33:40 am

Every time I try to attach a photo it tells me my file is too big. His there a way round this?
Thanks

You'll have to resize the photos, or reduce the quality of them.

If you don't have a programme already to do that, try downloading "Irfanview" (other photo apps are available  ;) ). You can use that to resize the pics: 640x480 is a good size for the forum.

Alternatively you can upload them to somewhere like photobucket and link to them, details in this thread (http://www.accidentalsmallholder.net/forum/index.php?topic=56624.0).

HTH!

Ok, thanks, sounds terrifying! Will wait til the teenagers wake up (!) and get them to help!
Thanks :)
