Need help with posting please read.
« on: February 19, 2021, 11:22:22 am »
For the last couple of days, when I hit the post button, the system is working and then I get an error
 has occurred, your file is to big. Really? There's four pictures of a steam engine, each is attached
as, inline expandable thumbnail, and a three minute video from my you tube. Four pics and a vid. This
never happened in the past. Does anyone have an idea as to what's going on?  Thanks, Tommy.

Hi Tommy, do you know what the size of the 4 attachments came to? I know Gil has the number set quite high and shouldn’t be a problem with only 4 pictures...

And the video won’t affect it as that’s just a link to YouTube.

Are you sure you didn’t try to upload the video directly to the forum when you were adding your attachments? That is the only time I have ran into the problem you are having...

The error said I was over 5120KB limit. The video I loaded to you tube first. When it was done, I
cut and paste just like I did to get the video posted. Even that picture I posted of the Peanut Rider.
When I first saw what came out I thought why is that so darn big. It was like three-four times the
size of my other pics. I checked my camera settings. After I chose my files I would set it for inline
expandable thumbnail, like always. Suddenly it's all supersized and to large of file. It will take one
picture but not two. I don't know.

I see your new post, did you change anything? Or, did it post just fine this time around?
