Can I ask, please, what size do photos need to be for posting to this forum? I’ve searched here but cannot find a definitive answer. Thanks.

This response might be a little bit late, because you have already posted a beautiful picture of your HighGainSystems Fuzz Architect. As you can see in Laurie's thread you can use bigger pictures and they are automatically resized in the forum. If you open the picture in a single tab you can see it in full resolution. I don't know the maximum size of uploaded pictures, but if you're still interested I can look it up.

Thanks Pepe. I’m not sure whether something has changed but it was much easier to post a photo this time! Previously, it took me ages to re-size it to the permitted file size. I think I need to experiment with some more photos.

I've found it is the size in kB that matters, not the height-x-width in pixels.

The upload chokes for me if the pics are any larger than about 170kB. I have a small app that I use to resize and increase the JPG compression on everything that I upload.

I just looked it up in the settings menu. Attachments have a maximum file size of 256 KiB.
