Topic: photo upload, can't do any file greater than 1 mb?

[aquadorhj]

in the attachment, restriction says 10 attachment per post, total 10 MB,
but can't attach anything greater than 1 mb, or file sizes totaling 1 mb.  is this going to stay like this?

It's been like that for some time now.

Just use a graphics program to reduce the physical size of the pictures. I use paint.net or gimp2, but there are lots of other free ones and perhaps windows paint can do it too, dunno about that.

I reduce them with lightroom….

On my laptop i find it easiest to right-click on the photo and select send-to mail recipient, then rename and save the image in the smaller format.  Simple.

I ran into that over a year ago, I think.  Wing (James) answered and explained the little gotcha of 1 MB max per photo.

I use "Photos" and/or "Preview" on my Mac to export to a smaller JPEG file.  Works fine. 

One thing I might do is to open an account with one of those photo sharing sites.  Any recommendations?  Free is best but if the cost is low (ideally less that $50 per year), I'd consider paying for the enhanced features, assuming they exist and are worth it.

Google Photos is free.

I switched to imgur after photobucket died. It's free and it works,.

Photobucket didn't die, they just decided to hold all of our photos hostage unless you paid them $300 a year.  I have have hundreds of broken links.
I'm using Postimage now,  fully expect them to do the same in a couple of years.

Thanks all for posting.  I'll check out the sites soon.

Last time I checked, you could no longer embed images with Google photo services.  I used to use their "Picasa" site but that seems to have gone the way of the dodo.  I tried to use Google Photos but could not embed the photos on other sites (such as this one) once the photos were there.  Embedding, rather than posting a link, is key here.

Works for me.

What I do is open the image in a new tab and take the link from there. I think if you use the regular link it won't work. If that made sense.

Just found out that Flickr is frakked,  come the new year they will be deleting all photos over 1000 unless you pay them.

Good to know. While I haven't used them in a long time I might still have some photos I need to move over to Google. Guess I better get on that sooner rather than later.

By "1000," do you mean quantity or size?  I have 50-100 pics on there, but they are big files.

Sorry, I wasn't clear.  Free accounts will soon be limited to 1,000 photos or videos.
Flickr Pro is $50USD a year, plus 30% off your first year if you sign up now and gives you unlimited.  Still a lot more reasonable than Photobucket

OK, here is a test of opening my Google photo archive and then opening an image in a new tab, followed by copying the link:



Edit:  seems to work.  Thanks Quad!
