How small do photos need to be to upload?
I used to be able to upload photos taken on my smart-phone but can no longer do so,

How do I solve the problem?

Is it the size?

Sometimes they are too small as well as too large.
Try taking a screenshot and uploading that maybe?
I have done that in the past.

Hello OP. Can you let us know what is happening when you try and post an image? Are you seeing an error message?

It could be that your photos are flagged for review by moderators, in which case there's a short delay before they appear on site. (This can happen to perfectly innocent images, by the way!)

The message I receive is that the image is too large, so I reduced the photo (of my cats) to the smallest size my phone a Samsung 5 will reduce it to, a jpg file 8,48 MB and still no joy.

THere was an additional message say I could try refreshing the page and try again. I have no idea what this means as I have learned my computor skills in Denmark, where all terms are translated into Danish, so I have more or less given posting photos up as a bad job.
