Hey every one...I tried to past a pic of my first Fob in the brag forum and I got a message that said the file was too large, max allowed is 384 kb...I resized the pic and tried again but this time the message read max size 180 kb. The pic was taken with my digital camera. Any ideas what the problem might be?

If you have a photo you want to share you have to compress the photo so it will meet the 120kb allowed space. you can add 4 photos and the total has to beunder 128kb.
If you have microsoft use micosoft office picture manager and open the photo. select picture on the tool  bar the compress the check the box for web and save.

I upload my pics to photobucket then use the img tag to put them in a post so the pic is loaded to a site that has a bigger server to handle them and to keep from taking space on the forum server.

Hmmm, I thought the maximum size for an attachment was 128kb. I use "sizester" to reduce the size of my picture attachments.

The maximum attachment/picture size allowed is 128 KB and it is 4 per post. I am not sure why you are getting conflicting information when you try to post. 8)

If you have "Microsoft Office Picture Manager" on your comp it's easy peasy. Open the pic in the program, click "Picture" on the top menu, then "Resize". There is now a resize menu on the right side. Click "Predefined width x height" then "web-small" from the drop down box. You're done.

this si exactly why I read alot here and don't post alot.  I post many pics of alot of my work on a couple other sites, but not here because my cell phone pics are too large to upload, and I have to load them to photobucket first, then link them here.

"Microsoft Office Picture Manager" is good for this, and I noticed that starting with a 2Mb pixel picture it will give better= 'bigger size'  results then starting with a 5MB pixel photo.

I open my photos using paint then resize them down and I save them as a gif instead of a png. Try this and see if it works.
