Why am I restricted to 500kb images??!?

[MarlinDave]

What is the 1.5 MB max? Per post, hour, or day? 

I posted a 500 MB photo in one post, then tried a 1 MB in the next post, it denied the second. I shrunk the 2nd so that it was below 1 MB and it went. If I wait an hour can I post pics again?

After logging out, I was able to upload photos smaller than 1MB again.

here is a screenshot.  Not allowing me to add second photos.  Happens very often.  You can see the image size is 554kb, but I get blocked from adding any more photos.  WTH?

After logging out, I was able to upload photos under 1 MB again. But it seems to me that such a problem may arise due to low picture quality. Therefore, I recommend trying to use images from trusted photo stocks. Recently, I downloaded fails design high resolution photos for my project and was pleased with the results. There were no problems downloading files.

Try uploading files smaller than 1 MB

To all users!

Considering the resolution of smart phone screens and most computer monitors, you don't need to post hi res photos.  Nobody can see the difference due to their screen resolution and size. 

There are still a lot of places in the world where download speeds are pretty slow and could take hours to download some of the photos people like to post their large photo files!  So give us all a break.

Downsize your photo files to 800 pixels in the longest dimension.  That is very adequate for purposes of this website.
