I imagine the photos were already resized to less than 1mb when you borrowed them.I've tried to use the upload a file button but get the message that the file is too large.
I tried unsuccessfully to use some photo thingy on the web but gave up as i'm completely useless at all this modern malarkey & it did my head in.
I don't understand how I was able to add full-size pictures that i'd copied from when I purchased stuff on here but am unable to add my own.
Is there really no easy way ?

Easy way is to send the photo to yourself using your phone by mail. It will ask you to choose what size you want to send it as. Select the lowest or the one up from that and it should be ok. Then use that version to post.
One way of ensuring that the size is low enough is to take the shot from a distance and then digitally zoom in to get the picture to fill the frame and in doing so you will be reduceing the number of pixels in the finnished picture. Simples!P.
I use an app called ‘Photo Compress' to get my photos under the site's 1MB limit. The icon for the app is a vice about to crush a photo !
What I don't get though is why sometimes an uploaded photo shows up sideways in my post on my work computer browser (rubbish IE) when it shows the right way up on my phone.
