Picture too large?

[Nidge]

Trying to add a pic to a post and getting "picture to large error" despite reducing it to 0.25mb. I've not had any problems previously so wondering if it's a bug?

weird.... 512kb is the max attachment size.

Cheers- just checked- despite resizing to 0.25mb it's actually still showing as 1.6mb in properties- will try again Ta

Dump pics in a hosting site and then just link the web address in the IMG tags, Much easiser,

I agree, i do still like to have the option to give people uploading factility and we have purchased plenty of bandwidth and hosting space, but if i'm honest it does add some complexities in things like backups, so my preference is to have things hosted outside of the forum. But the option is of course there to do via attachements.

Thanks guys- any recommendations for a simple hosting site?

Simple is relative... lol. I use FLickr which works great on desktop, but some forums (this one for example) it's crap when used from a mobile. Despite it's quirks on some places, i like it and pay £5 a month for it. Which is a bit daft in some ways as i could actually host them myself now on my own webspace lol

I always used Photobox until it became a paying operation,any of the above suggestions work well. I use Imgur.
