email me the picture you are trying upload and I'll see if I can figure it out.

Ok sent....iI think...lol...Thanks Lloyd

The picture you are trying to upload is 3 megabytes. That's too big. Only 1 MB per picture is allowed.

The picture was 300 ppi and thats what was causing the issue. Most internet images are 72 ppi.

I'll resize and send back to you.

Shows ya what I know. Guess I need to figure out how to resize now. Thanks Bill.. Lloyd

You're welcome! It's a common mistake, no big deal! We can all learn something from time to time.

Well now if you can tell me how to resize, I will see how long that takes me to figure out an learn something new. Thanks Lloyd

You use another program (photoshop, etc.) to resize the photos beforehand. A good size for on here is 600 pixels wide.

Thank You fish. I think I know how to do it now. Wish I could get them bigger than a thumb nail. Thanks Lloyd
