FYI: You can not post pictures till you've made 3 posts, and have been a member for 3 days. After that, you get promoted to a user group that allows pic posts. It used to be 5 posts and 5 days, but I just now changed it to 3 and 3. This is part of the system to prevent spam.

No limit, it will get re-sized automatically.

Hmm..When I select a pic from my computer...its shows in the upload panel with a red exclamation point to the right of it..when I hover over the exclamation point..it says "File Too Large"..and will not upload...

Now, I know, indeed, that the pic was taken at the highest resolution (3264 X 2448) on my digital camera, but the editor is not resizing the pic automatically...

Oops. I'll look into it a little more.

Prolly cause I'm the admin I have no limits. If you're seeing that, looks like you do have a limit and do have to resize first.

You have to use microsoft paint which should be on your computer.....resize your pics to 650X490 and the will work just fine then. This keeps the pics from being big and folks having to scroll and scroll and scroll to try to see them. I had to do this when we were on the old format as well.
