can't post my photo -- please help!
« on: Monday 16 May 11 19:23 BST (UK) »
just tried to post a photo for dating on Rootschat but it didn't attach.  instead, got message: "your attachment couldn't be saved.  this might happen because it took too long to upload or the file is bigger than the server will allow."  photo wasn't scanned -- I simply took a photo of it. :-[
can anybody advise me what to do?  sorry, I am not very computer literate.  many thanks!

Thank you so much!  Another kind Rootschatter re-sized the photo for me and it is now posted.  It apparently was, indeed, the size that was the problem.  So I shall go and learn how to re-size!
