Dang! That is clever. I'm going to start using this as my main method of compressing photos. Thanks for sharing! I will also put this in the How-To section at the top of the forums.

I am continuing to have problems with this. I reduced the native size of pics on my phone to 7.7 megapixels. That reduces the file size to only 2.8 Mb and I am still seeing an error that the file is too large when I try to upload. The file limit of 2Mb is a pretty small file. Is there any way to increase this at least to 3Mb?
Resizing the pictures is cumbersome and only works if you have downloaded the pics onto a PC. I keep all my pics in the cloud and do not download them.
If this cannot be resolved it will definitely inhibit my posting and I suspect a lot of other members will contribute less content as well.

Hi Robert, I am concerned as well about content contributions declining. I'm already seeing it. I have a request into Xenforo and have yet to hear back from them. The file size limit appears to have been hardcoded into the latest update...I have no idea why. So, please be patient. Right now, I think the limit is 2MB limit which is admittedly small but still workable. Not ideal by any means but still workable. Thanks for hanging in there on this and providing additional feedback.

While I'm waiting for a response from the developers...I've reinstalled the image optimizer. This should compress your files without loss of quality in the meantime. Please report problems here if you encounter any worth noting.

Ive had a lot of issues trying to download pics myself .Its wiered i can take apicture in my phone try to download it but cannot .Then if i screen shot that same picture using same phone it will download no problem .So the quickest way i found to uoload pics was screen shot the ones i wanted to download.Ive since joined a couple of face book machining groups this is so much easier can download pics and video at your leasure so easily.So long as the moderators keep the groups on track i think ill lurk around those groups

Thanks for trying to solve this issue. I am not sure what this means: "While I'm waiting for a response from the developers...I've reinstalled the image optimizer.

This does not seem to affect my pasting images into a post. How and when does this optimizer function?
