Posting pictures, or, trying to...

I subscribe to another BB called "For A Bodies Only," a Mopar BB for guys who like Dodge Darts, Demons, Plymouth Valiants and early (pre-70) Barracudas. Been on there a couple of years...

It has the same software that this board has (V bulletin, is it???) I am not computer literate enough to figure that stuff out, but it has roughly the amount of traffic that's on this board. Samo/samo....

The process for posting pictures is identical (same software, apparently), with one BIG difference:

Fully, 95-percent of the time when I post a picture on that board (and it happens a lot), it goes right through and onto the thread with no problems in its original size. There are size limitations listed, but they apparently don't enforce them because I have NEVER had a picture rejected and been forced to re-size it before I could post it. Never.

THIS BB, however, refuses at least 90-percent of the pictures I try to post because of size limitations, making it a pain in the *** to try to put up any pictures. I don't even know how to re-size pictures.

The few I have been able to get accepted by this board's software have come up on the BB page as small, 2" X 2" thunbnails that you have to click on to be able to see (they enlarge to about 4" X 4." when you click on them.)

I see HUGE pictures posted by other folks all the time on here, which tells me I'm doing something wrong, or that there's an important procedure that I am unaware of.

What am I doing wrong? Obviously, I am missing some important piece of information... I've been on this BB afor several years and have not figured it out on my own, so, I thought I'd ask...

This last picture I attempted to post (and, was rejected) was only 660 X 400... a really small file, but, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.... too big for the software police...

I don't understand.

Can somebody help this old fool????
