Many of us older citizens are having problems sizing photos for attachments. Not knowing web programing I am wondering what is limiting  pixel size and would it be possible to increase for us older challenged members?  Sizing programs seem like they want ridiculous funds for service.

I n case it helps, all my pictures are from a Samsung  android phone. I take the picture, then go to my gallery to edit it, and resize it to either 40% or 20% and it usually works

Seems to me something here on the forum has changed. Used to be a 500 pixel limit. Now it seems I have to size files down to 100 or less to fit them in a thread.

I always use my laptop and paint program to size and post pictures.

Don't even want to get into smart phones.  Sad

It looks like on a Motorola you need to use Google Photos to do the resize

My phone needs a third party app to resize pixels. Most seem to run $10.00 to $20.00/ month which is nuts to just size maybe one or two photos. I might have to fire up my old desktop computer and see if that will still work.
