Thanks Bill! I checked with my hosting company. They indicated that railroad.net needs to contact their server/hosting company. It is an issue with PhpBB as follows: https://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtop ... &t=2366931 Besides this :wink: link, my head wants to explode. OK, good enough, it's not you or I so we shall see....

The maximum image dimensions (width and height). The issue with this fix is it allows photo uploads of any size.

Unsure. In the meantime I would recommend uploading to imgur and posting a link to the photo URL.

Who, EXACTLY, benefits from the absolutely burdensome and absurd 800 pixel limit?

Is there a mod being held hostage by Windows 95 license holders who'll die if we post an image such as:
https://c.o0bc.com/wp-content/uploads/2 ... $large.png
https://c.o0bc.com/wp-content/uploads/2 ... $large.jpg

1024 (wide) x 768 (tall) was the XGA or EVGA standard from the MID 1990s, for crying out loud.
1280 × 720 (HD)
1920 × 1080 (FHD)

USA TV went digital...and more than 1200 pixels wide in JUNE 2009.

It's been an ongoing problem for years, including before Greg and I owned the site. It's on our list of improvements.
