How the hell do reduce your pic mb????...........well it looks like I'm not updating until I figure out how to upload
I'm in computer shit so I have 10 different ways and a program called SNAGit that can do it in batches. But there is a simple/free version in Windows that can do it easily enough for one-of's, Windows Live Photo Gallery. Open it and go to the folder with your pics, open any pic you want to reduce in size, when the pic is open, look for an option called "Properties" on the menu bar, drop down to the "Resize" option. Select the "Large 1280" size, then click the "Resize and Save" option.
That'll re-size it and create the same file name, with the dimensions in brackets so it's easy enough to figure out which one it is. Just tested it and it took a 5.5 Mb high res pic down to 850 kb, you'll loose some quality for high-res pics but it's acceptable for now. Hopefully they'll sort it out soon. I suggested they plug in an automated tool to reduce any attachments to within the limits, can't see doing this shit for long but it's about the only option right now, they should be able to automate it.
Other thing I found out in the support forum is they have a 5Mb limit on the regular attachments, going to try that when I get a minute but I'm pretty sure I tried a file around 3.5 Mb earlier and the pic uploader screwed up on that one so I'm pretty sure the only option right now is being lucky as shit with whatever software/browser combo you're using, or use the File upload option.
on another note the new site is a complete clusterfuck on my phone.....will update today
?: Just wondering..
