I have still not figured out how to get photos to post from my phone in bst

I’ve discovered since some forum update several months ago, you have to make sure all photos are 2MB or smaller, or they will not upload using the attachments tool. 1.99 goes through. 2.01 gets rejected.

Used to be the forum software would automatically resize anything up to like 5MB or so, down to under 2MB for you, before posting on NET54. For some reason it doesn’t do that anymore. Just rejects it for being too large. Any decent scan or cell phone photo is larger then that nowadays, so I have to resize down just about everything, before posting here.

Are you using the “manage attachments” button?

Generally, pictures from cellphones are too large to post to upload to the forum.
I don't remember the limit to downsize automatically being from 5mb. It's always been about 2mb from what I know.

Leon, I used to always post pictures that were originally much larger then 2MB. They would be smaller by the time the “Manage Attachments” tool got done uploading them, but they certainly accepted them into the system without me having to resize them myself.

Not so anymore. I’d guess this happened a couple forum updates ago or so. Maybe in the last 6 months or so, though my timing might be off a bit, one way or another.

You're not alone. I've had the same experience. At some point in the recent past, something changed that made it a lot more difficult to upload pics.

Sometimes I get pictures that won’t load but often times if I take a screenshot of my picture and trim it up a little bit it’ll load just fine.
