Help! Can't upload pictures

[IRefuseToPayFullPrice]

Hi, if someone could help me with this I would really appreciate it. I'm trying to upload pictures in my album but it won't work. When I try to add pictures to my post using the Attachments (paperclip icon), it doesn't work either. I'm thinking either the pics are too large (about 4-5 MB each). Is there a way to upload them here? I'd rather not use an image hosting site . Thanks in advance!

4-5MB is fairly large LOL
I don't know if there is a size limit, but if there is, that is definitely over it - but have you tried doing them one at a time

I did try one at a time, still freezes. Is there a way to reduce the size of my pics? Does it have something to do with my camera? I was wanting to share my vacation pics

[FallenPixels]

yes, you can reduce them by resizing

I use pliska resizer since its tiny, free and does bulk (you can resize the originals or make new smaller copies, be careful you dont resize originals if you ever want to print them)

I usually set to 600px max dimension for width and they fit fine, that will resize the actual pic and the filesize too

It gives me the message "Unable to initialize installer GUI". I downloaded, saved, and ran the file. Am I doing something wrong?

Hmmm not sure, search for 'bulk image resizer' online, there are lots, that is just the one i use

If there are not many pics, just open, click edit and most computers come with some kind of resizing software

Thanks for all your help FP, I really appreciate it . I uploaded some pics here: http://forum.smartcanucks.ca/257685-...a/#post4181116

Its easiest to make a photobucket account, upload them as the 600x400 or whatever then just copy and paste the img link

I keep trying to put up a profile pic, but can't. I used to have one and I know it wasn't deleted (it was Hello Kitty), but it isn't here anymore and I can't get one up. Can anyone help, please? Msg my Inbox, cuz I'll probably lose this thread or forget where to find it.... Thanks, guys n' dolls!

BTW, It shows me as having one on my profile...??? But I can't see it on my posts?
