Carpster61 Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Hi, I am posting in this area because I am at my wits end and I would love a quick response .. lol ... On and off for about 2 weeks now I have been trying to get pics of my Les Paul onto this forum ... Whatever I do it keeps telling me that my files are too big. I only recently discovered how to reduce the pic sizes as I am not too great on a pc. It tells me that I have a 500k maximum upload ... I have finally got all 4 pics to reach a maximum of UNDER 500k when added up. I thought that at long last it was problem solved. So I wrote out the post and then started attaching files ... The first pic attached fine at just over 100kb, then I tried uploading the 2nd which would have been a total of 210kb which was about 300 kb under my limit but it told me that my file was too big again. !!! I have read your section on uploading photos and itv talks about photobucket, whatever that is. All I want to do is browse my pc and upload them from there. The files added up are under 500kb so i cant see the problem. Also annoying too because lots of other forums or sites resize the pics automatically but not this one. I'm really at the point of deleting them and just forgetting about it ... Any ideas ??? Regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carpster61 Posted January 28, 2012 Author Share Posted January 28, 2012 The total not for one thread, it is grand total do you have any other pics. Go into your profile. I don't remember where its at but under profile is a section that has the pics posted that you may have forgotten about. Hi Guitarest, I have never posted a pic on here before in my life, these will be the first pics I post. If it ever lets me ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
