Hi Roobarb,

I notice that most, if not all, of your images are set to 320 pixels for the longest side. If you set the size to 700 that should, depending on the detail in the image, create a pic that is within the Board limit of 125 pixels per image.

If 700 pixels longest side still exceeds the 125 limit, then try 600 pixels for the longest side. If still too big reduce the longest side setting again.

Edited later to give correct Board limit for max Kb per image.  ::)

Hi KevinH, thank you for the advice. I've found I have to transfer the images to myself in a low res to then be able to upload them here. Unfortunately not able to adjust the pixels for each image. Sorry if this causes any viewing problems!  :)

Hmm. Latest technology baffles me.

I don't understand what you mean by "transfer images to myself in low res". From where to where do you transfer, and how do you make low res versions?

I take the photos on my iPhone, but they're too big to upload here as when I try, I get an error message. So I email them to myself, the iphone offers 4 different image sizes to email them as. I select the lowest size of image (as I've found through trial and error this is the only one which the site accepts) and then upload them via my computer. When I click on the images I've uploaded to make them bigger - I can see all of the details but sorry if they're not the best resolution.
