Check the file size of your images. The limit is 100 Kb per image. You can reduce the file size with the compression slider in IrfanView.

But I used to just be able to hit "Half" in the resize section and it would be good to go. Around 600 Pix used to work fine.

Is it just that my computer stopped wanting me to upload just as I learned how to take a good clear shot?

It makes no difference how big the shot is (as long as its no more than 800 pixels wide) but the uploads will not accept a FILE SIZE of 100KB or more. Check the file size by right clicking the image and selecting properties.

One shot that I had "Attached", when I didnt know how to upload yet, was at 640 & 512 pixels and was at around 30000 bytes. When I take one of my newwer shots, when I take it down to 640 & 512, they stay at 960kb, so I cant upload them. How can I resize it to look as good as it did originally, but under 100k? Huh

First you need IrfanView

Open the image in IrfanView & click File/Save As. Select JPG - JPEG format from the "Save as type" menu. Adjust the quality slider to suit & click Save. (Lower the number to increase compression & reduce file size.) You will need to experiment with the setting for each image but it gets easier with practice.

I suggest using a different file name for the saved image. Work from the original each time you wish to modify it.
