No picture showed up. Did you use the 'paperclip icon' or 'manage attachments'? Maybe you forgot to scroll over and click on the "Upload" button.

It just won’t load. Says it’s too big.

Yes, that is a problem. It says that the maximum size is 5MB --- But that is not true. The file size needs to be smaller than 2MB.
I can reduce or compress photos on my computer. Some use an online service to reduce pictures.

I bring up the file from my computer and right click to resize. I use "custom" setting and change the largest setting to 600. The smaller number will adjust itself if you have checked the box: maintain the aspect ratio, so your photo maintains its correct proportions. Resave the resized photo in your computer and use it when adding it to any quiltingboard thread. Hope that helps.

Do you have Windows 10? It comes with Paint and Paint has an easy resize.

I use Photo Gallery and I size them to old size 640 x 400 I think. It comes up in the list of sizes.

Good luck.
