I am trying to fix the problem where the forum can't automatically resize big pictures.

I have it 1/2 working so at least small ones can be uploaded into threads for the moment.

I'll reply when I have it fixed so that big ones can be uploaded and automatically resized without generating errors.

Here are some directions for manually resizing big pictures if you really want to post them today :

How to resize pictures from a digital camera before emailing them

Resizing before posting in the forums is the same as resizing before attaching to an email.

Thank you, thank you Popowich!
The link leads to resizing photos in Paint.
I never even thought about doing it in that area. I'll have to have the kiddies look into why my paint longer opens.

I knew you were working on the sight but I got a bit (No, a lot) worried when they said I may have to start resizing things myself.....
I get lost so easily in all that technical stuff. There's hope for us poor fumblers after all...
Popowich, I'm sure glad you're here taking care of all of us.

Used to be able to load 5 in at a time...then it lowered to two at a time, now all you can add is ONE at a time or that message occurs..
W.G's system can't keep up with the newest camera pixels or whatever you call them...

I was trying to load only one picture when I got that message.

I reduced the photo by 50%, tried to upload, failed, reduced it by 50% again, attempted another upload, and failed again. Same message as above.

Is this where I should be posting this?

Thanks, Lib. At least now I know it is not just me.
