    I’ve read all the stickies but I can’t find the answer. I even emailed the guy in charge of the site maintenance but I haven’t heard back yet.

    Pictures are tooo big.

    I use free software called Irfanview to resize pictures. Simple, quick and easy to learn, not a resource hog like many.
    I truly believe we need to get back to basics.

    Get right with the Lord.
    Get back to the land.
    Get back to thinking like our forefathers thought.


    May the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you
    and give you His peace. Let all of the earth – all of His creation – worship and praise His name! Make His
    praise glorious!

    GhostHawk nailed it!!! Most iPhones and similar take photos with their printable sized in the twenty-some inch size range! This takes quite a few bits of computer size, and is generally waaay too big for insertion on this site being my probably correct guess. For this site, smaller size photos give quite easy to see images, without taking up much of the space site-owners $PAY$ big bucks for, too.
    All you need to is reduce the size of your intended photos. Rather than worry vis "pixels" -- shrink any photo so the maximum length of any border is eleven inches or less. (e.g., 8" x 11") This should do it. How do you accomplish this? There are lots of free, as well as paid programmes you might explore and use.
    Good luck!

    The only 3 problems I've seen with uploading pictures is they are too big,
    their format is not supported, or your photo section is full.

    First try to crop or shrink them down.
    Second, be sure the picture isn't formatted in something the site can't support.
    I have good results with the 'jpg' ones.

    I've tried some new pictures and found a few with some format that says 'web'.
    They won't post with that format.

    Georger and Winger: I have taken your advice on sizing my posted photos and now reduce the size of my photos. Works good! Thanks guys. However most of the time my uploaded photos load 90* out of kilter. What do I do? Thanks for your consideration.

    If you're using one of those (not so) smart phones, try rotating it 90 degrees as you're using it/posting your picture.
