When I have trouble on here I often will call @JolietJake or @Owlwings . @myLotBugs is good to call as well.
With those members in mind, I am gonna state my problem.
I have been using a new camera, it is nice. The pictures do not load, I am guessing that they are too large.
My questions are: What is the maximum size image for myLot? and can you recommend a good resizing tool or method?
Anyone who knows feel free to answer. It does not have to be the people I have tagged. I know the problem is not from Windows 10, because my desktop is not 10 but it still will not load
If you are having the same problem, maybe the information I get will help you as well. Meanwhile it is time for breakfast.

The maximum file size for images is 3Mb and the formats accepted are .JPG, .PNG and .GIF. The pixel size of the image as it is displayed is set at 726px. The maximum height is 403px. You can upload a picture which is larger than this (in pixels) as long as the file size is no more than 3Mb but it will be resized so as to display within the maximum height and width restrictions above.
The maximum pixel width and height measurements above are in the 9:16 widescreen proportions but if you upload a picture with a different ratio, it will NOT be stretched or cropped to fit: it will merely be sized so as to fit within either the maximum height or the maximum width.
JJ's recommendation is for an online image converter. You can also use Windows Paint or any one of a number of photo editors. My personal favourite is IrfanView, which is free.

@JolietJake Beggin' yer pardon, mister. You are right (though the online converter is the one from them that I knew about). I find that IrfanView does a lot more, however (when you need it to) and it's easy to batch process a number of files, too.

@JolietJake Yes, I have installed IrfanView on my computer, I like to play with the photos to create funny effects.
