    Every time I try to upload a picture I get a message saying the file is too big. I need advice please.

    You could either resize the pic (to make it a smaller file) or you could use a hosting site like photobucket or picasa.
    Hope this helps.

    When I have a pic that's too big (MB-wise) I use the Windows Snipping Tool to "snip" a smaller portion and re-save it. Works every time.

    Just curious, how do you resize a pic? I don't have any editing software. Our do you reduce the resolution? BTW I use my phone.

    I use an app, many free ones available. 10:8 fits perfectly here.

    I think reducing the resolution would be the way to go but I don't know how.

    If you're using a computer to upload pictures go to postimage.org to resize your photos. Choose 800 X 600. :happy088:

    Once you get an app to edit your pictures HERE is where you can practice.

    I put the pic on my desktop, right click on it, select resize, then select small.

    Irfanview is a great free image editor. http://www.irfanview.com/
    You can crop, rotate, resize and add all kinds of special effects.
    I resize all mine to 800x600 with Irfanview.

    If you use the tapatalk app for the forum, it should resize it for you automatically. That's what I've been doing.

    I don't know what "tapatalk" is. What is it and where do I get it? I'm using my PC not a cell phone.

    Sorry, thought you were using the phone. That app is available in any app store, Android or apple. For a PC, you can try using the program paint that should be in your accessories. I'm not on a PC right now or I would talk you through it. Tomorrow at work, if you haven't figured it out by then, I will gladly give you a step by step.

    It is a goto program for me. I have been using it since about 1998. It is the first program I will download to a new computer.
