Did you try reducing the size of the photo?

I like to send the picture to myself on Facebook messenger and then save the photo from there it should then be the correct size to upload :)

If you set the resolution to 'low' on your camera or phone then the pictures will be fine to post. Failing that if you use Photobucket you can select the size the pictures are stored at so they don't need altering when you post them :)

Suggest you get your wife or kids to do it. Works for me.

As for weight saving, if I had another bout of flu like the one ive just gotten over that would reduce the weight carried by the car pretty comprehensively.
Alternatively if I gave up drinking, eating anything that's enjoyable and get out of the car more often that would reduce the weight too, the knock on effects on the economy would however be just too much to bear, especially this close to an election.
It would be selfish of me to consider only myself and reduce gdp in line with my reduced consumption, pass the biscuits dear..........
