Oh Crocus, perhaps you could help me. It's not just in a normal post (although perhaps I ought to try that to see if I get the same problem) It's in my Blog about the Falklands. I did the 'manage attachments' thing that you describe, selected the photo from my pictures and ,after ages, got a message to say the pictures were bigger than allowed. Oola kindly resized them for me and sent them back, saying they would work, but I still got the same message. For one photo - and I want to post about half a dozen! I wondered if it was becasue, here in the Falklands, the upload/download limit is restrictive, but I've sent up to 5 photos in emails from here. Any suggestions? I wondered about zipping them, but not everyone has the same unzipping software and, in any case, no-one else seems to have to do it on RM.

Hi JG, I'm not quite sure about this. My pictures are all resized to 800 x 600. I'll try and found out and let you know. xx

Yes, Crocus, I followed that instruction of yours, to resize to 800 x 600 and that is what worked for me. What I do now is take the largest side down to 800 and leave the smaller side to automatically resize itself leaving the ratio locked.
