    I’ve been trying for two days to create a new thread in here with a picture but it won’t let me. Anyone else having the same issue? If this happened in the past, I would take a screenshot of it and use that but that’s a no go as well.

    Odd. Keep the pictures at 8 megapixels or less. That's why screen shots work, they reduce the size/ detail enough. PXL_20250415_000759071.jpg

    Edit, this picture was about 6 mp

    No issues for me yesterday adding to my BL thread. Followed my normal procedure and it worked.

    That's interesting.... Evidently I've never had a pic too big, cause they've always worked for me...

    As others have stated, it is usually picture size. Shrink it and then try posting. One other thing you could try would be to copy the picture and then paste it in the post.

    Only time I’ve had trouble is trying to post a pic from Facebook marketplace. They often have a security issue.

    I’ll either get that message or this one

    upload_2025-4-21_7-49-4.png

    if the file size is too large. Screenshot and then crop unwanted screen stuff then copy/paste or upload works for me, every time.

    This seemed to do the trick. Never had this problem before. Thank you. You can see the picture I’ve been trying to post on the new thread “splitter failure”
