    I am a bit fed up that no one has answered my question as to how to upload more than one image at a time now that Flash player is no longer available. Ruffle (Flash emulator) does not work.

        I have tried that in the past and it only seems to work sometimes.
        Not sure if it is to do with file size.

          My largest file size in the above images is 3.59 MB (3,768,798 bytes)

          I have copied and pasted the largest of my images 12 times and it still works the size is 8.78 MB (9,208,459 bytes)

            There is a 4mb size limit, but otherwise pretty much every image format seems to be accepted. We did see a spate a while back (and I was affected myself) where photos taken on a Samsung phone would not load. The solution was to screenshot the image on a PC, resave and upload that

              @Palustris are you wanting to upload to a normal thread or to a Gallery? I think Galleries have a different criteria - but don't know.

                Yes @shiney I use the same method when I upload to the Gallery but and its a big but :heehee: I can only copy and paste one image and upload one at a time so you are correct and from recollection @Palustris is probably talking about uploading to the Gallery:smile:

                  To the Gallery is correct. As wiseowl says we can only send one image at a time now that Flash Player is no longer available.

                      The image below is showing as 5.1mb on my phone, but if there's a 4mb limit then the forum software must be resizing it during the upload.

                      It must be, unless the size limit has been changed since the last time I looked

                      "4096 kilobytes, attachments over this size will be rejected"

                      It isn't doing what it says it will do.

                      Indeed. For clarity, I didn't code it, I didn't spec it, I just steer it in the right direction ;)
