enniscorthyman Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Just wondering lads a few times I have got too large a file when trying to upload photos. I am not the best when it comes to the IT end of things.Any Hints?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garfield Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 An easy way to get around this is to upload to a 3rd party image host (I find http://www.tinypic.com handy), who will provide a link so you can use the image here. Use the link with the tags and paste it into your post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BosKonay Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 The photo / upload limit is 2MB per file. You should be able to resize the image to under 2MB in your photo software if you save it 'for the web' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BosKonay Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Can you check what size your images typically are? I could crank the limit up a bit if needed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garfield Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 I'll also post a quick tutorial on how to use a third party image host, if that helps... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenderg Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 What's the optimum size for pics though? Is 800 x 600 a bit Windows 95 or is it still current? Is 1024 x 768 optimum? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BosKonay Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 1024px × 764px seems to be a current 'norm' (and is the size most smartphones / iphones take Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
