Posting pics and getting a response "Can't upload, file is too large"

[JD1137]

I posted this response to an "introduction post" (Webb Wilmont) yesterday and figured I should probably create a new thread.............

My experience recently with posting pics.

I bought a new iPhone 16 a couple months ago replacing an iPhone 12. Realized almost immediately most of my photos wouldn’t upload to this forum because they were “too large” (file mb). Had no issues with my old phone.

The iPhone 16 camera takes higher resolution photos, hence larger files.

The only way I know how to work-around is to email the photos to myself. When emailing photos from your phone you get the prompt…..”small, medium, large or actual size”. I usually select “large”. Scales the image down to about 1/2 the mb size of the “actual size”.

After I receive the photos, from myself - (LOL), I download them to my photos. Then I delete the originals. Jeez, complicated - LOL.

Has been working for me, but kind of a pain. Maybe someone knows an easier way?

I usually reduce the size of my pics by sending them in a message to myself on the messaging ap on my phone. The incoming pic is always reduced automatically there. then I save that photo into a special file I use specifically for forum posting usage.

That’s my trick also. I email them to myself and choose the smaller size I want, then use that.

I just found the setting to change it. Took it from 24 mp to 12 mp. Cut the resolution way down and I'm going to try it for a while. Thanks!

Is there a way to make the site accept bigger images?

I'm sure there is, but it would probably cost some dollars.
