I was trying to make a post with 6 boards. 1 pic each of the first 5 and 4 pics of the 6th. Seems no matter how I go about it only accept 2 of the pictures. Is there a file size limit or special instructions? I tried using search but "posting pictures" only brings me a msg saying the terms are too vague. Thanks :)

If your on apple devices, take a screen shot of your full screen photo (crop it down on MacOS) and try posting that.
Screenshots are always clean of extra metadata that may bork uploads.

Also check your photo settings. HEIC (Apple, New Android) works about half the time. Again, if it fails screen shot it. Which will produce a PNG or JP2 image.

AAI/AVIF (newest androids) never does.

thanks. Crappy phone camera so I used a good camera and photoshop. At least 2 of the pics worked , and they were the smallest so I just shrunk them all to that size or smaller. Looks like 4mb is about the max size to work

I’ve found 4-5MB to be the safety barrier for anything mobile.
No guarantees on anything larger.

I’ll eventually look into the back end of what the code is really doing that makes a difference: much larger photos have been uploaded. And to be honest I think there’s more to it than just data weight. Like resolutions and DPI and embedded forks and chains. Tech stuff. Lol.

Your not the first to have issue. Including myself.
