    You need to use a photo editor to 'compress' the picture so the file is ideally less than 1Mb

    Thanks Raisin, but I am sure I used to just dbl click and the attached themselves but now nothing. I cannot think what I am doing differently?

    I think there have been some problems and some changes Maybe send a message to Nora?

    I have the same problem Willinglearner, I managed to upload a couple but when I tried again on a different post, like you, nothing happens image.  I don't know how to photo edit either, so will watch this thread for help image

    If you google "resize image" you will get several options for reducing the size of photos to make them easier to show on here or send by email..

    Depending on the facility you have on your laptop.phone etc,  if you right click on your pictures, you often have a resizing option. image

    It can be a bit hit and miss sometimes so I redo all mine to below 2.5 MB as they load quicker that way. Most of mine are over 5MB to start with.
