post crashes when i try to attach photos

[edhewitt]

Hello all,
I find from time to time that when i try to attach certain photos to posts the whole post crashes, and i end up back in the thread that i was in, if i try to reply again i will often have an option to restore auto saved content, which will bring back part of the text from my post, but ifi try to attach the picture it will crash out again.
They are all photos taken on my samsung tab 3, and it doesnt always happen, does anyone have any idea what i am doing wrong?

Sorry no help realy here, but I tend to get the same thing if I post any photos when I use EI at work, but when I change to Safari it doesn't happen but its runs slower at work for some reason, I think these issues for me are due to our internet policies conflicting.

never had the problem at home on EI or Safari.

Edit: I also have to resize all pics down to under a couple houndred KB as most photos taken are around 1 MB or more for me

Not sure if it is the same issue but I have similar troubles posting in the Classifieds... I can post the body content and submit without issues... Try to Submit with even 1 pic and it fails... However, if I Submit the body content then Edit I can upload 1-2 Images at a time without issues AND without adjusting anything regarding the pic ie, size, etc. ??

Hope it gets better or you find a fix!

Yea, there might be a size restriction. I have no problems inserting photos from photo bucket but they are all in the 100 to 150 KB range. You may have to resize your shots down a bit.

Hmm, i will have to work out how to do that, i just tried re-editing a different post in another thread and it failed.

Have you any photo manipulating programs? If you don't have, Picasa is a free download that will let you resize your photos among other things. I used to use an earlier version and it was pretty good so the latest version should be even better.

I will see what i have on or available for the tab 3, i tried cropping the pictures but it still didnt work, though it was still 470mb i think so maybe just too big.

Sorry can't help don't use any Tablets just old fashioned PC. If you are purposely taking shot for the web not for printing you can set the file size smaller in camera.
