There is no need to resize photos before posting them. The software will automatically resize photos that are too large.

That will solve a number of problems we dealt with in the past.
Nice job Kevin.
Thanks

When I was messing with pictures I tried a full size picture that was 3 or 4 mb and it gave a error message.
That size is too big so I'm in the habit of reducing any pictures before uploading to a forum.
Like Omega Man mentioned 1 mb did not cause problems here in the past so I was in the habit of reducing down smaller than that.

The original file size from my camera and phone are in the 3 to 6 MB range.
I just tried to post a 5 MB and 6MB picture and both failed.

Thanks for the report. Let me look at the logs.

I'll try uploading a 1.4 MB file... This is of a new Sargent saddle on my 94 R1100RS that I purchased new. For the past 30 years I've had a Corbin saddle on this bike and quite liked it. However my knees are really hurting nowadays on the oilhead RS - the doc says that knee replacements are in order. Well I'd ordered the new Sargent saddle and I am just about to send it back for modifications. After discussions with the nice folks at Sargent, I did as suggested and added folded towels to the seat to raise myself up a bit (and lessen the bend angle on my knees). At 3 towels (or 2.5 inches height) my knees no longer hurt. So I will send the seat back to have it raised by 2.5 inches (and I'll have red welt added to the black saddle - why didn't I do this earlier??). I am just kicking the can down the road to forestall the knee replacement.
PS - it looks like my 1.4 MB photo was successfully uploaded.

Here is yet another experimental photo upload. This time at the Square Root Rally in 2014. The photo is about 4.5 MB is size. I think that this may have been one of my last camping trips as the knees are too painful to allow for crawling out of the tent in the middle of the night.
Well, shucks... no joy on the photo upload. Message says too large.

4.08 MB didn't work but 3.01 MB did.
The 3.01 picture loaded but it requires scrolling to view all the picture.
I used the Insert Image icon.
I tried a 4.2 MB jpg image that was saved directly from the digital camera...no joy. I then brought the image into Windows Paint program and then saved it as a jpg image (no downsizing of pixels) and the image was saved as a 2.3 MB file; the Paint program must employ a stronger jpg compression algorithm. The 2.3 MB image was saved using the drag-and-drop insert image option.
If working from “new posts”, when a thread with new posts appears, you can “click” on the “time stamp” and it should get you there. Also, a blue box appears that indicates “NEW”.

I figured out that clicking the time stamp works. I don't remember seeing a blue box anywhere, but if I click on the thread title and go to the first page of the thread, there's a white "jump to new" box top right that gets me there. Maybe our color schemes are different? I'm on the what I guess must be the default, because I never changed it.
