Now I may be a little hard of thinking but I am very confused with the file size required for posting in the various pages. I have had files turfed out that were 1 MB and yet I have just uploaded one at over 4 MB? Is it me?
File size?

If you would like to post, you'll need to register. Note that if you have a BCG store account, you'll need a new, separate account here (we keep the two sites separate for security purposes).

Pixel dimensions? That's what may matter most.

Surely the same thing? More pixels bigger file?

Yes, but the site might only accept a certain maximum longest dimension.

I'm not sure I'm entirely correct. I listened to a tutorial on posting images which recommended 1200 pixels wide for a horizontal image and 800 pixels tall for a vertical. However, sounds like images are just resized if they're too wide or tall.
It shouldn't let you do that. I checked the file you uploaded (the river I assume) and it shows it as 321K, not 4MB. When I sort by size, there's not any uploads in the DB over 1MB and the system doesn't resize. If it did, it would have made the 4MB file a 1MB file. Not sure what happned.
