Trouble posting help requested

[Steve Fiduccia]

Hi, 

I've been trying to post to the group for the better part of an hour with no luck. I keep getting message is too long response but my text is shorter than a lot of what I see already posted. I'm attempting to attach a few photos either in the message window or attached. Could that be the issue? I see other do it without problems. 

Please advise.

Thanks,
Steve

I don't get a "can't do it" message unless I try to send more than 25 MB. How big are your files?

And puh leeze, all y'all, attach big picture files instead of pasting them into the body, which makes the text extend horribly beyond the width of the window. I've taken to simply trashing messages with such images.

Patrick's right. There's a 25Mb limit on messages, so you probably need to reduce the file size (not the display size) of your photos. The thread linked above has a lot of info, and if you don't know how to shrink photos, it includes this post about one way to do it: https://groups.google.com/g/rbw-owners-bunch/c/KHm7pCW92IM/m/7e4YLpdPAQAJ

Google could do a better job with error messages, but I think they'd rather just kill off Google groups, but too many people use it.

FWIW, I disagree with Patrick. I much prefer inline images, as long as they're properly formatted for the medium.
