Please help - I don't know how to attach photos to my posts?

[Ella-Rose Ukairo]

I have a lot of furniture items to sell but whenever I click 'attach a file or photo', my photos do not attach

Can someone please help me?

(I also tried following the 'How to embed a photo' instructions but don't understand what "copy the BB Code(forums) text" means)

Hi Ella-Rose,

I use Microsoft Office Picture Manager to reduce the size/compress my photos (jpeg files) as there are strict size limitations to uploading photos on the site:

'No file can be larger than 614KB

All files together cannot be larger than 614KB

3 ... file(s) can be attached to this message'

I'm sure that you will have a similar programme whereby you can compress photos whether you use Mac or Windows. Save the compressed file and it should upload fine. You can only attach a max of three files per message, so if you are doing a lot of phptos you'll have to add messages with more attachments to your original post.

Other people link to external photo sharing accounts as a way of bypassing the size limitations.

I'm sure others will have good advice to share.

Don't give up - it can be done!

Hi. Try this. Email yourself the photos choose the appropriate size when asked. I think I choose medium or small

Open the email save the new photos and then use these

It worked for me. Good luck

If you google "resize image" you will find loads of free - and easy - online software.

I can't remember the one I use, sorry, but really, there are loads of them and it only takes about a minute a photo :)
