Can't upload small attachment
Can't upload small attachment
I just tried to upload an image (several times) that is 116.3 kb on my computer and it fails with a message saying that it's too big. The message states that attachments can be no bigger than 250 kb...
My brain is like an Internet browser; 12 tabs are open and 5 of them are not responding, there's a GIF playing in an endless loop,... and where is that annoying music coming from?

Re: Can't upload small attachment
Is the picture larger than 800 pixels wide as this is also a limit on size?

Re: Can't upload small attachment
Image upload restrictions are 200kb and 1000px wide. Anything over this or non-standard format will not upload.
Re: Can't upload small attachment
Just go to the below, select 760 pixels, or custom (1000 pixels), BEST quality, hit RESIZE red button. End product will work on the forum.

Re: Can't upload small attachment
Thanks Pete but it still doesn't work... message still says it's too big.
"Image upload restrictions are 200kb and 1000px wide. Anything over this or non-standard format will not upload."
Image size is 135.3kb, 676px by 1000px and it is .jpg
Which one of those is the problem Lev?

Re: Can't upload small attachment
I've had problems previously if the image has been over 800 pixels in any one direction - perhaps worth taking below 800?

Re: Can't upload small attachment
Yes, try dropping the height to 800 and see it if works.
Re: Can't upload small attachment
Yep, that worked but there's no point now because that last resize (from 1000 to 800) rendered the quality so bad that the text is no longer readable.Lev wrote:Yes, try dropping the height to 800 and see it if works.
In this day and age of computing with huge sensors and terabyte drives I'm surprised that this forum's software is still so limiting in attachment size.

Re: Can't upload small attachment
If it doesn't fit for some reason, just post a link to your photo journal HHF., like Flikr etc., where the photo is located.
The rest of the debate involves costs I imagine, and who wants to pay for it.... which is no one...so I'll stay out of that debate. Pete

I sent you a PM a few hours ago, asking you to e-mail the image so that we could look at it to identify the problem.

Does that work now? I tried it a couple of years ago, and it wouldn't accept flickr links.prcscct wrote:just post a link to your photo journal HHF., like Flikr etc., where the photo is located.

I didn't send it because the problem has been identified... the height/width has to be less than or equal to 800 pixels, which doesn't allow for a lot of detail. I was trying to post a map, which is pointless if you can't read the names of places on it. As someone else posted, to get more detail I would probably have to link to the photo on another web site.

Re: Can't upload small attachment
I've tested a flickr image, and it definitely doesn't work.

Re: Can't upload small attachment
Flickr masks the file name to stop other websites hotlinking to images which it has now claimed as its own. Just checked the image dimensions here which are 1000x1000, this should be large enough for 99% of images really since screens are getting smaller these days. No idea why it had to be reduced to 800 though ... glitch in the Matrix I guess.
