I thought jpg was OK at TechSpot

i attempted to post a screenshot here at techspot and found that the file exceeded the limit. when i saved the screenshot (ms paint) i typed in the dialog box event viewer five.jpg and clicked save. i thought this screenshot could be posted here. should i have clicked the down arrow and chosen JPEG or BMP, or one of the other options? once my screenshot is made, and in my pictures, can i change or rename the type of file that it is, so that i can solve this problem and post. thanks, Ed

It`s easier just to upload your image to a site like ImageShack or Photobucket,

then just use IMG links.

Is this really the right topic to post this in? :)

Thread moved.

Yes, jpegs are ok at TS. However, we have a limit of 100kB for attachments.

Either reduce the resolution of the image or, has already been suggested, use some photo hosting.

Regards Howard :)

sorry for posting in the wrong place. thanks for the info. Ed

Attachment limit is only for the forums.
The gallery limit for picture uploads is currently 1500KB (aprox 1.4mb) and a resolution of 2560x1600 pixels.
