      Do the usual "new message" thing in that forum. Below the text box is a message:

      Quote:

        There are limits in how big they can be, so no surprises if you get errors, just reduce the load of the image. What I do is: - Make a screenshot of the image you want to post. - Option 1: You go to the message composition widget and "paste" it or - Option 2: You save the image as a *.jpg / *.png and then you drag and drop it to the message composition widget.

        M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

              That's probably due to the size. Easy workaround... Open the image in your pc, do a screenshot of the image with windows snipping tool and just save the result as a new file in *.png, it will decrease the size A LOT, then you shouldn't have problems trying the same with the new file. If still too big, do a zoom out of the image before snipping, this way you can still reduce the size of the end product in a slow pace until you get it below the limit. EDIT: Spelling

                You were not kidding "A LOT" I used paint and decreased size to 20% the shots are really small. CP was never designed to be a photo sharing site so it makes sense that the photos need to be small Thanks for the Help

                  In my experience, the upload speed is sometimes the problem. I often had problems uploading a picture from my private (slow) internet connection, while there were usually no problems uploading the same from the company PC.
