Tried to add a pic in a post but got a message that the file was too large, and must be no larger than 1 Meg
The pic was simply a normal photo taken with an iPhone, but was 2 megs, so how does one make a photo smaller in file size to meet the 1 meg requirement?
Technology is great, until it sucks ... and you're too old to understand it 
Any help greatly appreciated!

It took me a while to get the hang of posting pictures just take some Valium and keep at it you’ll sort it in the end.
For photo editing it’s hard to beat fast stone image viewer and it a free program

Didn't have any Valium so I tried a 6 pack of beer, but the pics still wouldn't load |

For photo editing it’s hard to beat fast stone image viewer and it a free program took me 2 days of intensive coaching on another forum an help on here aswell to master it ,for which i'm very gratefull . but that was photobucket ,which later decided to no longer be free ,an hijack all my photo's an hold them to ransom .an still about 6-7 years later i'm still getting emails from them saying i need to register or lose my account ,12$ a month .they can jog on ,just wish i knew how to adjust my spam filters so they no longer get through .H |

Re the spam
When you get a mail from them just hilight that email then click spam
Alternatively delete the account
I use Imgur.com for my photos, not the easiest but it is free and reliable
photo phuckit definitely tried the hijack trick
I have not seen anybody using them since that day

When you log into Photobucket it tries to get you to upgrade but there's a little button at the bottom that lets you through. You can also download all your photos (so you can reupload to Flickr etc) as a zip file. |
