Sorry guys but I can't find a thread on this (I can feel the flames already

).

Every time I try and post a picture on here now I get a message saying it's too large, even if it's one I've posted before. Why is that?

Anyone know how to compress a photo taken with an iPhone?

I have been experiencing same issues! Android phone and on my Dell computer.

iPhone 6S Plus, iPad Air 2, MacBook, MacBook Pro and Dell XPS 13. Most bizarre

Did you try the announcements/feedback section? Quite a few threads there.

GradyPhilpott · 25 June 2017, 02:16 PM

There are pixel and data limits now.

Ruud Van Driver · 25 June 2017, 04:37 PM

Ok, I've had a look in the announcements and feedback section and found the threads. I completely understand why there are limits and, yes, it gets up my nose having to continuously scroll left and right because some images are too big.

I've now loaded a free app to re-size my photos and guess what? I still can't load a photograph because there's too many bloody pixels!

Ruud Van Driver · 25 June 2017, 04:45 PM

Ok, fixed it

For the benefit of others who may be struggling with this.
I just copy my big resolution photos off my camera, open Paint.net and re-size them in that to about 600x750, save them and then use imgur.com to upload them, then copy them in "forum-friendly format" and paste them on TRF or the other forums that I use.
I am practically computer-illiterate and I have never had any difficulty with this.

For those on iOS devices, I found a free app called Image Size for iPhone and iPad which does the job. Load the photo, tap in the size of photo you want and job done.

I paid an extra 2.99 (English pounds / Welsh euros) to get rid of the adverts. They really do my head in.

Are there no settings on an iPhone that will do the job automatically? Or do you have to have an app?

If your on a mac or PC you just upload to photobucket and copy/paste the link

That is going to become an issue.

Photobucket is stopping hot linking, notice the threads with broken links.

They want to start charging, so the question is where are people hosting that are not paying? I am going to stop using Photobucket as it is blocked for me at work anyway.

Tapatalk, medium setting. Works fine.

Amex4711 · 25 June 2017, 07:30 PM

I use "picr.de" and it works perfect

Gaijin · 25 June 2017, 07:37 PM

I added an app called shrink photos. Works like a charm. I also shrink the photos a bit manually on my IPhone.

OmegaJJH · 27 June 2017, 11:24 PM

Having to resize pictures in an app just to post on here sounds like an awful faff!!

Just download Tapatalk for free and use that to post your pics. Much quicker/easier solution.

Headshrinker · 28 June 2017, 01:27 AM

I wondered why my pictures were not downloading on the site.

KarlS · 30 June 2017, 09:31 PM

I just stopped posting loads of pics...too much hassle....Instagram isn't reference now

hsfrank · 30 June 2017, 10:08 PM

Also AutoResize in the app store

greggsiam · 30 June 2017, 11:01 PM

For the lazy, the max width is 1050 pixels while keeping the proper height ratio. Just resize to be 1050 or lower to fit the guidelines.

michaelodonnell123 · 30 June 2017, 11:30 PM

The server side software should just resize your image for you. Why we are resizing them ourselves?
