I recently also had this issue, some photos loaded others were rejected but the same initial size.

What I have also seen looking at sizes in My Gallery is if I upload a photo and then edit it within the forum gallery (rotate it for instance) then the resulting file might be Mb in size and not under 1Mb as it was - so all a bit odd to say the least.

At one point I was doing a 'bulk upload' of 4 images and one it wouldn't take as 'too large' yet was similar size to the others - even tried doing in pairs in case it was a 'total' for the 4 images but same issue.

No idea why.

On Monday I added a reply to my French Collection thread. When I came to add the last photo I was informed it was too large and should be less than 976.56kB. I reduced the file size and all was well.
 
Today I attempted to add another reply and was told that another photo was bigger than 976.56kB, which it was, just. I reduced it to 874kB and it is still being rejected for being larger than 976.56kB.

I hadn't heard of this restriction before (I usually post at between 1 and 2MB) but I can live with it if it would only recognise when an image is smaller than the limit.

I am loading photos straight from my computer rather than using my gallery on the Forum.

Am I doing something wrong (I've uploaded loads of photos in the past without difficulty) or is there something wrong with the Forum?
 

We'll be debating carrots in pasties next

To which I sensibly replied that Jam first is the only way to do it.  This elicited an unexpected release of invective and accusations of 'Philistine' and 'Heretic' from the pair of them. 

So thankyou for this, the humble Scone (as in cone) has thrust a wedge into my otherwise harmonious domestic arrangements!

 

To be fair it only has as you were wrong 

Also rookie error offering an opinion to your wife or daughter before finding out what the expected answer should be...

Stay safe...

Quote from: Graham on August 20, 2025, 12:25:12 AMI must admit to being a cheese scone fan, not something you see a lot of here in Aus, but in my working days I spent a lot of time in New Zealand, and there was a cafe in Wellington which made the best cheese scones. I would visit the cafe every day I was in Wellington.

was it very wet at the time that you always wore wellingtons

 Thanks all for your thoughts, looks like an NGS membership will be on my list for Santa!

Quote from: icairns on August 03, 2025, 04:57:57 PMI am not sure what you mean by "crashed."  I believe the N Gauge and N Gauge Society Yahoo groups morphed into io groups and can be found here:

https://groups.io/g/ngauge

https://groups.io/g/ngs

They are both still active but receive less posts that the NGF.

Thanks!
All I remember was that the yahoo groups disappeared at a busy time in my life and that I discovered the NGF later, when my life calmed down a bit!
I've had a peek and can see a vague "yahoo resemblance" in terms of the style and format of the groups.
I will keep my life simple and stick to just the NGF anyway!
