Picture size dimensions

Why can I not upload any new pictures on here? Old pictures seem to upload fine yet new ones say I need to resize?

Then you need to resize, just like it says.

No more than about 999pixels on the long side and less than 293 kb. I use Paint. Tapatalk and other apps work well too.

I was surprised by this change... and a little confused. But I've learned to 'adjust'.

I am not great with technology, sure I can get my head around resizing and will give paint a try, thanks.

Right click on your image and select "Open With", then Paint. When the image opens, look for "resize" in the Image controls on the menu ribbon. Click the Pixels radio button.

The forum says 1000 x 1000 is the limit, but I can never get all that and still be less than 293 kb. To save frustration, I usually reset the larger number to 750. The other side will auto size. That has always made it under the forum limit.

Technology not my thing have tried the opening in finder now twice and re-size, it has just given me the wheel of death (have re booted twice), got to be honest not worth my time, I guess after all these years I will just look at others pictures, I have a 12 year old Mac and it seems pretty fragile at the best of times. Sounds like I can try to master on my iPhone with tapatalk, but I don't really want to follow TRF on i-phone either.

Carry on using TRF exactly as you do now and just use Tapatalk to post pictures when required.

Best of both worlds!
