2. I'm too ignorant to change them,

so I'm going to need help with that. I thought all I would have to do is click on a different size for importing the image. I will have to research this, because I will be happy when all our photos are larger which is what I think the outcome of this exercise will be.

I'm delighted mnhttnbb is taking this on - she understands it - I don't. When she ran the contest she is referring to my photo was too large and I did not know it, but she alerted me to it. It turned out I could not see the size the photo was showing in because "my account" setting here at DU was set to Standard, and when I switched to Classic the real size showed up.

Response from Skinner: ManiacJoe Feb 2016 #43
Would it make sense to keep size limits for the image in the post with a link to to full size image? Make7 Feb 2016 #44
That would work very well for individual posts. ManiacJoe Feb 2016 #45
There are options - automate the process and/or make it part of the submission. Make7 Feb 2016 #46
