I have been trying to post photos but my files are bigger than 1mb, usually around 1.5-2.0 mb. Does't the photo tool have a compressing tool?

Are your pictures too big? Maybe if you make them smaller (less pixels) they will able to be uploaded?

I'm sure Ruben is working on it or can give you better advice...

Well there are all kinds of settings that determine if you can post a file or picture depending also on where you post them.

Give me a hint on where you are attempting to post and what is the file extension.
I think I just picked 1 mb out of the air just to start with.
Due to each picture takes up drive space. Which in the end could drive up the cost for the site. If everyone was posting pictures.
So I may just need to bump it up a bit.
Or make a special exception for just you.

Yep Paul. I just checked most all file uploads and picture forums are set to 1 mb.
It really has nothing to do with a compression tool. Just more of every upload to this site increases the amount of drive space we need.
So very few people take advantage of this feature anyway. I just don't want to open the door to newbies to just upload tons of mb.
So what I can do is I will setup a a new group and place you in it to allow say up to 2mb.
For people with more than 100 posts
Give me a day I have to set it up across each forum and then add you to it.

Don't forget to let me know the file extension.(jpg,jpeg,PNG,etc)

One more question for the settings is how many files at a time to upload.

Thanks Ruben. The file extension would be jpg. I think a max of 6 files at a time would be suffecient. Sometimes we run into some interesting code violations that would be great to post. Also seminar pictures etc.

Okay all done.
Give it a try.

Thank you.

Works great Ruben, I will try not to abuse it with to many pics.

I don't think it will be a big issue since not to many people post attachments or pictures.
The old settings would have worked if you tried two pictures.
Because the original setting was 1mb and limit of three pictures.
So all three exceeded both limits
Like I said before I just entered the 1mb limit out of the thin air.

I might consider adding another gallery for just Code violations.

Maybe call it red tag alley for fun?

Ruben....Help!!!! I can't get the pics on any more. I browse to the file and then add file and finish and nothing happens. All files are well below 1mb. and only 3 at a time.
thanks
