    So I started a thread yesterday. When I went to upload the pictures it asked if I wanted them fullsize or thumbnail. I chose fullsize. However, when I began to upload them it said they were too large. Now I cannot seem to be able to have the option of going back and using the thumbnail size. I even tried to start the thread over. My option of choosing now seems to be gone. I never had problems before. I tried searching but can't seem to find any other threads that address this problem. HELP! :eek:

    I experienced the same thing trying to upload photos from my phone. I didn't have the option to re-size.

    It's not giving me the option of thumbnail or full size. It did initially but once it failed the option has disappeared. It automatically tries to download it full size now. It just says file too large to process. I'm using everything the same as the old forum. Same computer, same camera, etc.

    What is the file size of the image you are trying to upload? It needs to be under 3MB or so...

    It says its 3.64 mb. Not sure how to shrink it down.

    That's your issue then... That's a big image. We actually have the limit set at 5mb, but some folk's ISP will time out before that large of a file will upload. That's what is happening to you.

    Just make it smaller in file size and you will be good. Check it:

    Please forgive me if I'm hijacking this thread here, but I'd like to know how to upload a video from my phone. Thanks
