    Uploaded just fine this morning when I listed items for sale. I always have to "resize" the photo so that it will upload properly.

    Whats the trick to getting them to resize properly enough, to be able to post your photos?

    All I know is how to do it on a Mac. Open it in Preview then go to Tools adjust size. I use a copy so it doesn't resize my original photo.

    Hi, guys.

    Sorry no one has been here to help. This is one of the issues caused by the recent incidents that happened to the site. I saw the original post right away but haven’t posted because I’m not privy to everything going on behind the scenes. I don’t want to say “try ____ or try ____†because for all I know none of that will work now and I don't want to mislead and cause even greater frustration for you.

    Sully is the man these days and he's out in (nearly) an Interweb dead zone at the moment but there are some real pros working behind the scenes to find the roots to our problems and repair things.

    We're sincerely sorry for the inconvenience - it's affecting ALL of us - and we'll provide an update as soon as possible.

    When uploading from my laptop, I select the photo and right click on it. This opens a "box", and I select "open with>paint". This will open a tab with the image, and a task bar that has a "resize" option. Click on that, and a "box" opens giving the options available. I usually use the pixel count (set to 1020 hor, 765 ver), and select "save" when x-ing out of that tab.

    All -

    Very sorry for the delay, I took the family camping and didn't have internet access. I'm back working on this.. as Steve mentioned this was a result of the overall issue. Gallery and uploads was ground zero and we are having to rebuild it. Very sorry for the delay on this.

    ^^^ Well, it worked off of the MacBook Air. I'll try tomorrow to see it photos will resize from the iPhone 7.

    ^^^ Ok, that iPhone pic worked. Let's try it again...

    This 3rd photo (iPhone 7) wouldn't load... so I assume the resizing feature isn't yet quite up to snuff.

    Hmm.. OK, I'll have to look at the size of the iphone 7 image. One of the problems is there are two settings, one for the "forum" size and then the plugin. My guess is it exceeded the max for the forum size so it never got to the plugin.

    Thanks for letting me know - I don't have a nice cool 7.. stuck on the 6 currently. :rolleyes:
