 ???

What did you try to do today on RootsChat?

If you are trying to attach a photo, it has to be maximum size of 500 KB.
It also has to have a name unique within RootsChat - I usually rename the file to include my initials?
E.G. Photo1.jpg becomes Photo1-KG.jpg

And try writing in longer lines? It's hard reading what appears to be poetry? :-\
I suppose it's fault with the stupid iPhone?

So reduce the size of the file!

I have no idea how you do that on an iPhone?!
Better to put it on a proper computer, and change it there.

I think you need to download an App so that you can reduce the size of the photo.

Hear hear!!  I totally agree. Putting a post in that format makes it more difficult to make sense of!  And it's a waste of good Rootchat space!!

So proper sentences and paragraphs would be much better please 😄
