hello gents.not being too savy at this type of thing ! im trying to put a picture on to a post here on the forum. i have taken some photos on my iphone 7. they are now on my p.c and im trying to put one onto a post . im following reebs instruction in his how to post. all is fine until i get to uploading to the club website. it tries and then comes back with the bulletin " the file uploaded is not an image " the file is jpg from my iphone. should i have to convert this to another type of file or should it be ok. should it be jpeg or does it matter.my avatar image went on ok this morning however this was uploaded using my cheap blackberry phone. why is it saying that the file is not an image ?

The problem is, it’s too big. When uploading to your forum image gallery, select a smaller file size when it gives you the option

If you are uploading it from your iPhone to your image gallery on the forum, your iPhone should give you the option to choose the size of the image as you upload it.
