Is anyone having problems uploading pictures onto this site? Apparently my iPhone’s camera is just too great for it to handle, because almost every time I submit a high score I include a screenshot only to be told later that it didn’t go through! And don’t even get me STARTED on trying to change my avatar, either its an “Invalid file content” error, or it’s not the correct size! Also, I have some GREAT pictures of the Virtual Boys appearance at Otakon 2014, but I don’t want to submit a post claiming that pictures are attached meanwhile the post has no picture because it didn’t go through (Especially sense I have NO clue how to edit posts…)! If anyone has any tips for me, or a special way to edit the pictures for the site, PLEASE let me know! Any help is appreciated! Thanks,

You’re SLR quality iphone camera (lol) isn’t the problem.

High scores have a max image size of 1024×768
Avatars have a max image size of 100×100 or something.
Photo’s uploaded to a forum post just have a max 20MB size (I think)
Collection pictures also have the 1024×768 image size limit I think.
Forum posts can be edited within 30 minutes of the original post using the edit button.

All these limits are visible at the point of upload, but maybe you can’t see them on the phone (scrolled off the screen maybe?). I guess I’d suggest using an actual computer to upload pictures, since I don’t think you can change the amount of pixels the image contains on the iphone.

I am using a computer to upload the pictures but I take them on my iPhone. I just don’t know how to shrink photos.

You probably can’t run IrfanView but you could look for an (inferior) alternative to it that’ll run on your (inferior) fruit-based operating system 😉

(Note: I don’t really have anything against OSX; I just can’t afford the “Apple-tax” on the hardware.)

Are we sure he’s using a Mac? If you’re using a PC you can change the resolution just using the built in MS Paint
