Why can't I post photos?

Post by Knackers »

I can't post pictures for some reason, I have been able to for the last 5 years and even last week but now my system just freezes up and I have to close the page, reopen and then log back in. Try again and the same thing happens. When it's happing I'll hit cntl/alt/delt and task manager says that Aus varmint is running but to me its just frozen. Any ideas anyone? Somebody, anybody? :roll:

Oh and if I try and upload from my phone, the forum post says "file to large" I shot a whopping big cat and want to show ya's. :D

You need to make the photo smaller in file size Knackers.

There is an app for your phone called shrink and share. It works great.

I use photo bucket to upload photos to the net and it either has a setting I have changed or it sizes them automatically to a suitable size for forums etc

What internet browser are you using sounds more like an application error, your phone is attempting at least but as others have said its too large. It shouldn't freeze your machine if too large just give you the warning.
