I've tried to upload 1 photo to the gallery, I get a message that says I've exceeded the limit. Don't understand. Any help would be appreciated.

You need to scale your photo so that it's under 2Mb.  Make it 1200 pixels wide and it will be way under that limit.

 

Alternatively, if you want to just upload the photo as an attachment to a forum post, our system will be able to scale the file if it's too big.

yeah thats the best quickest option jason and you can always then use one of the picture hosting sites for your larger files if you wish others to view a more detailed higher spec image

I use the screenshot technique for our Facebook page. Always produces a usable resolution/size to showcase a shot then hyperlink to the gallery.

I can upload photos to attach to posts I make. I used to be able to post the picture but now it doesn't. It just comes as an attachment. Is that a browser problem or some other issue?

Try clicking on the 'add to post' link beside the uploaded attachment, that should embed it inline no matter what.

Yeah it's the "add to post" link/button that is not working. I click it, but nothing happens. It did work when I was first posting to the forum but now it no longer does. I might try a different browser and see if that makes a difference.

If you're on IE 8 or older, you might experience issues when using our site.  Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Opera, or IE 9+ are recommended.
