Hello all,

I know this may come as a really stupid question: but how do you upload pictures to a forum post?

I know you just have to use the "add attachment / media" button and all - but it just seems like the pictures are just too big to upload.
Is there any way to reduce picture size without killing quality (compressing them seems to make them a blurry mess).

Thanks in advance.

I find changing the resolution on my camera works best, saves you having to downsize the picture as much, when uploading to the forum.

Hm, I tried reducing MP and aspect all the way down to about 1.3MP (4:3). Image size still remains about 3MB give or take a few KB.
I'll try resizing with an external application; till then I shall continue to use Drive links.

This picture taken recently of one of my tanks..its been uploaded without any editing in Imgur 2592x1944(4:3) 5MP

All I did with this series of pictures was upload the pics to Imgur, save, then copy the link for boards and forums and paste here. Takes a few seconds as no resizing is needed.
