Have you tried using the Attachments function? There’s a tab directly below the save draft button when you write a new post or reply. You can usually grab images direct from your phone/pc assuming they aren’t too large, saves the need to upload to Flickr/imgur etc

I can't even upload a 300KB attachment. There should be a setting on the backend to increase the allowable upload size...

I made a few posts recently and managed to get some images up. On my last post in spotted it let me upload 3 out of 7 so I guess it allows for some but not others. I reduced the size to less than 1000 pixels in width and they were all less than 100kb. I am not expert but is this a space issue?

Hi guys

Coming to the end of my holiday - I'll take a look once I'm back - sorry for the inconvenience.

I had a look at the settings and there were a few set that would definitely cause issues - I've changed things so please have a go and let me know if you still have issues
