pic size throttle?

[redneck joe]

So i've always been able to c/p a pic from my facebook to here without issue as FB reduced the size to a level acceptable to post. Of course hotlinking is so old school and i like the big pic from posting directly into the post rather than linking to have to click on.

The pic i just tried to upload was 764kb so by any current standard was tiny.

there was a dude that had the same issue a couple three days ago but ted has been able to upload.

So, whats up?

I dunno what that means Joe
I did try to post pix a while ago that I was told were to big so I give up , but later on after I found out I could crop pix I give that a go and it seemed to reduce the size far more than I expected ...like about a reduction from over 5mb to under 3mb but I only trimmed a bit of sky out of the pic ...only about ¼ of the original pic .
My old camera used to have a resize function where one option was to size for email etc . This ph doesnt ,and I dont know why some pix are way more mb than others ....unless its got something to do with zooming in before taking pic .....still learning

yea my twyping skills aint great and i dont check ernough.

I left that sentence alone - on the forum i used to have it was the game to figure out what the hell joe is saying. Interestingly, our resident kiwi usual was best at it.

FWIW - I usually reduce the size of my pic to around 1024 x 768 give or take. The size usually is about 250 - 500 KB.

If you’re using an iPhone make sure your picture setting is not on “live” I find that if I take pictures when live is switched on the files are to large.
If your setting looks like this you’re good to go.
