Upload image

I have tried to upload a picture from my PC file but the message I get from the upload is "upload file not an image".
I don't understand so what can I do to correct.
Cheers

Fact is that the solution to the problem is to reduce the size of the image.

The fact that the forum says it is not an image when it clearly is frustrating but not a lot can be done to change that is the info I am led to believe

Bottom line, reduce the size of the image and you can post your pictures.

Like everyone we upload images and send them friends and family using other apps/emails etc. Its a shame this forum is th only one iv ever struggled with. Iv seen many questions over many years on this subject and we would think it would be sorted out by now..

Thanks Steve for info but you would think in 2022 there would be no need for using other apps. Why not av a straight forward system in place here.
