    I have noticed this now when trying to post pictures...

    "Your file (.jpg) of 179.6 kb exceeds the forum's limit of 97.7 KB for this filetype"

    I don't believe I can reduce the file size for a picture that low? Has this always been the case, because I have posted pics normally close to 500kb in the past...

    The only way I can post a picture directly from a device is to use the basic uploader option.

    I was given instructions from a very long time member for posting pics from Apple products.
    1) take the pic using the Camera 2+ app, this makes sure the orientation is correct.
    2) use PhotoShrinker to make it the right size.
    3) hit the pic icon and hit upload.

    This has worked perfect until the board went down for a bit yesterday, now it says my files are too large so I’m cutting/pasting from tinypic.

    ​ I have iPhone 8 and mac pro computer.
    these steps work for me
    FOR BULLETIN BOARD FORUM REDUCE SIZE OF PHOTOS IMAGE FOR THE MESSAGE BOARD
    • OPEN PHOTOS APP
    • PUT PNG INTO PHOTOS
    • MAY CHANGE TO JPEG?
    • RESIZE IMAGE TO AROUND 80-90 KB
    • SAVE IMAGE
    • PUT IT IN MY RESIZE FOLDER FOR FUTURE USE
    • IN BB FORUM OPEN IMAGE ICON TO IMPORT IMAGE FROM RESIZE FOLDER

    Thats the way it is since the server update a few days ago. Host your pics online somewhere like tinypic etc etc and post them that way.
