I'm pretty sure that if you upload your pictures to a server like 'Photobucket', then you can leave them the size they are , then provide a picture link to them.
The size limitation is only when saving your pictures to this server, probably to save server HD space.
Cheers , Rick.

You can download resize image apps for your phone, quick and easy.
Just search image resize in the App Store.

This is one of the reasons why people are moving over to FB based pages as its very simple\instant to upload a photo.
If these forums want to hold members, they really need to address this issue.
A quick serch on the PHPbb provided the below link.

OK, I have now downloaded the PHPBB Image resizer mod and it seems to be working ok!
Thanks Rogue_Hunter...I was a little hesitant as it is an old PHPBB Mod for version 3.0.10, and we are now running PHPBB 3.0.12
PS: that is our cat "Turtle".
All images should now be able to be uploaded!
*NB: Larger image sizes will take a little longer to upload to the server.

Can you guys/gals do some testing for me?
I want to see if you can now upload your pics to the forum with ease?
