How to post photos when you get a too large error message.

Thanks for sharing! It’s still not working for me on my android. Like Carol, I don’t get a “resize” option from the kebab. I don’t relish uploading to yet another website to compress or installing and giving permissions to a new app. It seems like there should be an easier way!

I understand the issues with not wanting images with large file sizes on the server.  But I really hope there will be a way to have the forum software simply reduce the file size automatically, rather than requiring each participant to find a work-around.  Posting photos here (often in freezing weather, in the dark, or in other inhospitable conditions) is an important aspect of many of our contests.  Right now, contest sponsors are frantically seeking alternatives.  But the forum is going to lose people if posting photos requires so much effort that people just give up.

The previous version of the forum did not have this problem. It seems like a *very obvious* problem someone should have foreseen to me.
