Posting Photos

Maybe Mike will see this thread, tho' probably not. I've been posting images without thinking about size for years. Something has changed.
I can't remove photos I added,
If I try to delete photos, I get sent to an error page.
I would report it as a bug, but I am pretty sure my account will be useless soon.
If you do an edit on the post and "Go advanced" and then click on "Manage Attachments" you can "Remove" attachments. Or at least that works for me on my desktop.
As for posting images, if your image is more than about 1000 pixels wide, it causes problems for people who view it.
In the past when loading image files, they had to be less than about 250kB or the upload would be rejected. I just tried a 1.3MB file -- which is more than enough for any image that's going to be on your screen -- and it worked. I notice that AZB compressed the file which was not a high resolution image to start with. I believe that if the upload handler cannot reduce the file below a certain size the upload will fail.
I tried a 3MB file and it failed even though it was only 1700 pixels wide. If I reduce the file to 2MB it will upload and the file size is reduced to 197kB. It's possible that the reduced size has to be under 200k.
So your an accomplished 14.1 player and good at computers.
Usually their is a setting for image uploads and the two main adjustments for byte size and pixel size.
But now we are talking vbulletin and not AZ.
I will try the work around. Thanks.
Only works on one post at a time.
On the old vbullet I could batch delete all my uploads one click.

Something changed with the forum a few months ago, where it stopped resizing larger photos down to a decent size when uploading. I dug through settings and could not figure it out at the time. I know the issue will be resolved when we migrate the forums to a new platform and I kind of put the issue on the back burner.
justnum is right on the suggested size though.

OK so I'm not crazy. It is also possible that as phones have gotten better the file sizes have grown over 2 meg. Maybe that is the limit as Bob suggests. Next time I'll remember to take photos in a lower res.
Let's get on with the migration -- winter is coming! :smile:
Got a ton done on the new AzB this last week. Another two weeks like this and I’ll be ready to launch it.
Then I’ll think about the forums move.

Green sent your way. I understand programming challenges, I hope it didn't come across as snobbish.
Sounds like you got it covered with the migration.

I wanna play pool now
I'm currently trying to make a post with photos from my android and it keeps saying file size too big and no option to resize. Been on Google searching how to resize image because Android gallery won't let me unless I'm missing something
