Unable to upload images from my computer

[Nick_1020]

Hi..

I've been trying to attach a few images from my computer to the 1020 photos thread but I keep getting a message that the files are too large:

WP_20131018_12_33_08_Pro.jpg: Your file of 1.45 MB bytes exceeds the forum's limit of 490.6 KB for this filetype.

I've always used the same method to upload images and they get automatically resized but it doesn't seem to be working anymore.

Also, slightly related topic but I've noticed that on other people's links to images that are hosted on SkyDrive (for example), the image is scaled to something like 800x450 and there is a clickable area at the top of the image with an option to view the full size image:

Click here to view the original image of 3072x1728px

How do I post an image from SkyDrive that is scaled in the same way please?

Thanks

The upload problem seems to be something new on all Mobile Nations forums, and I think they know about the issue. I don't know if you can embed pics from SkyDrive, but you can embed pics from Flickr. Just upload your pic there and copy and paste the BBCode.

Thanks. Hope the upload issue is sorted sometime soon.

In the meantime, I'm uploading images to my site and the seem to be scaled automatically which is good enough for the time being.

I'll be looking into this shortly.

I've bumped up some of the specs for image uploads this afternoon. In addition, we're going to be pushing out an upgrade to the forum later tonight or tomorrow to address some other image upload issues we've been having.

Thanks for your patience on this!

Did some more tweaking, and we ran an update on the forums last night. Things all better here now?
