Default Problem with Picture Uploader

I was able to upload 1 picture from my computer but have troubles with others. I suspect is because of picture size. The one that did upload was 2.2 mg the ones that didnt were 7 mg. If this is an issue how do i resize?

Yes, 7MB files are too large to be uploaded. You need to either edit the pictures after taken with a photo editing program to reduce their size or you need to change the settings in the camera to use lower resolution which will reduce the size of the picture.

There are two, free, programs that I recommend when needing to edit images.

The Gimp: http://www.gimp.org/
This program can be quite complex. It can take time to learn how to use. However, it's a powerful program when needing to edit photos.

IrfanView: http://www.irfanview.com/
This program is lightweight and pretty easy to use. It's not as powerful as The Gimp. This program will do your basic editing (setting dimensions, cropping, etc.).

You won't find many websites like CorvetteForum that allow a 7MB upload so this is not specific to CorvetteForum.
