"Submitted message is too long to be processed" issue

[tired]

I'm trying to submit a short post with only two images in it, and I'm getting this message. Any advice? Can you only put one photo in a post now??

Ran into the same issue multiple times earlier today. I restarted my IPAD, compressed the photo in my post, and reposted with success. Hope that helps.

Yeah I minimized the photos a fair amount already. Still won't go through. Usually you can get 6-8 images in a post.

Try posting without images then adding images after its posted?
What are the image sizes? maybe convert to a jpg?

My phone had options for 200MP pictures.. I turned that off.. they were huge unwieldly photos and of no use.
otherwise ask @wwillson
what's going on?

Many mobile devices produce unbelievably huge photos. We convert all photos to .webp and resize them to a more believable size, but our converter has size limits. Try resizing them to 1024x768 on your device first, I'll bet they will upload fine.

That was it. Thanks, Wayne. They were screenshots from my cell phone, but I was uploading them from the desktop. I just took screenshots of the screenshots on my desktop, and it went through.
