Error when trying to Post with a Photo

Oh yeah, now I remember the problem I had before. When you take photos with the same phone, why are some too big and some are okay? I am not understanding the technical side of this.

@akalinus wait do you take the photo and post directly from your phone or do you take a photo and transfer it to some other device like a desktop pc?

@akalinus it has got to do with how the picture is compressed like if it's a jpeg, giff etc..pictures are made up of pixels so the more colors the picture has the higher the pix even if it was taken with the same camera, I'm not talking about the size of the image or the picture but the file size that determines if it would upload. One practice I do is save it on my device and edit it by cropping, or edit it and crop direct on my phone if Im using the phone to mylot. If you know how to crop a picture there is a greater and faster chance it would upload since the size had been reduced by removing unecessary details.

Thanks, that seems to be the general consensus. I will make it smaller and try again when I come home from work today.

That is interesting. I am learning to wait longer on here.

@akalinus

It is funny how one photo will fit and another from the same phone won't.

@Shavkat Thanks!

@akalinus i posted about this back in february, but i'll just summarize it here. when i used picresize.com as suggested by diana, i chose Custom Size 640x426, Save as JPG , Max Filesize 60 Kilobytes. when i used freeimageconverter.com as suggested by jj, i chose Size 640x480 and Quality 60.

@hereandthere Thanks so much!

I don't use MS office. Dreams still haunt me from a couple of computers ago of the time I used MS Office.

@poehere My son has tried to teach me a number of times. He probably thinks I'm hopeless. I can manage my way around better though. You make it sound so easy.

Thanks, Ann. I never know what size to reduce it to.

@akalinus Microsoft Paint is simple to use. Load your image and you will see resize. When this opens just go to the first selection on the box and erase 100 and type in 65. Afterwards, go to save as and save this as a JPEG image. You can add resize to the end of the number so it will be easier for you to find.

Thanks, I think I do remember you. I just posted one the other day taken from the same phone and it went through with no problems. I am going to try to resize it.

@akalinus You should be able to check the image size anyway.

@Asylum Thanks but you can probably tell that I am not the best at things like this. I learn as I go along.

I seem to be the only one affected. I have uploaded three other photos from the same device in the last couple of weeks with no problem.

I'm sorry you had trouble. I hope you find a way to fix it. The internet is full of mysteries I do not understand.

I had to delete because the discussion is worthless without the photo. The last photo I posted with my phone went through without a problem. Aren't the photos from your phone the same size?

@renicemae Isn't it always that way?

I have contacted the administration. Of course, it was Friday afternoon, so don't expect to hear anything over the weekend.

@akalinus Oh! I only knew that today
