The allowable picture size has always been there.

There are lots of ways to shrink pictures, but I am not computer savvy to list more than the one I use.
I open them in Paint and in the 'Image' toolbar there is a 'stretch/skew' option. You can just enter the appropriate percentages in height/width to reduce to 100kb or less.
For me that is usually 30-35% for a picture of 1.3mb. Depends a lot on how "busy" your picture is, the more detail (like say a vehicle parked on gravel) the more kb/mb. I will save the modified picture under a new name, check the size, and then go back and 'edit/undo' and redo the percentage as necessary to get the right size.

Hope that description makes sense...:???:

Cheers

yesterday or the day before i had uploaded a picture that is 1.08mb and one that was 1.07mb, both of them is just over a little 1000kb, and the image allowable says it will only except up to 100kb, i think when the upgrade was done something in the software had changed it from mb to kb, i like so many others have had there pictures lost after the change, why because the software had recognized those pixs as being over the allowable size so there fore it got rid of them

I can't see pics either. Also, there is no thank/quote buttons under everyone's posts for me. There are alot of member's I'd like to thank. I thought I had just screwed up my computer somehow.. good to hear I'm not the only one. Having a tiny bit of web admin experience myself, I realize it's a PITA. Thank you Magnus. I love this sight. My friends refer to it as my version of "facebook".
