Here is a chart for Attachments...


From the chart the maximum file for a .jpeg is 976.6 KB and the maximum size is 1700x1300 px.

I believe that some users do not understand the difference between 'Attaching' or 'Inserting' a picture.

When attaching () a file you will be uploading that file onto ECCIE's server and using their storage space for that file.
They only have so much space so therefore they limit the amount of space allowed.
The exact amount of space they allow, I am uncertain of, but you can find out by doing the following.




This will tell you how much space you have left for 'Attachments'.

When Inserting () pictures, you have to upload them to a file saving site like Photobucket.
since the file is not saved on the ECCIE servers it is not taking up space therefore they don't care about the file size.

Here is a nice thread on how to insert photos.... How to post a photo

Hope this helps,

Thanks a bunch for the help!!!!
All of that is good for inserting and attaching pics to posts but it isn't doing me any good for my showcase. I have to figure out how to compress them so the size isn't so big.

to compress photos using MicroSoft:

Right click on the file > choose OPEN WITH > MicroSoft Office

Left click to EDIT PICTURES

On the menu to the right, choose COMPRESS PICTURES

Left click the DOCUMENTS option > OK

Left click FILES > SAVE AS > identify new file name

Voila, new, smaller file, same sized photo.

That works nicely. If you don't have Office, try this: http://www.shrinkpictures.com/
