When you upload a picture on here you can see a progress counter showing the percentage done at the bottom of the upload window. It is shown in the first picture in the post. Then it says waiting. I think its waiting while it resizes your picture to an acceptable size automatically by the forum software.

The second picture was just a test. Its size on my computer is 3,477KB. It is now 603.4 KB after the forum resized it automatically. I have noticed it doing this with jpg files for a long time, I assume it does with other pictures as well but I have not tried it. Not sure which forum update added this functionality but I think it was the one which made the attachments appear in the middle of the screen. I think I remember having to resize pictures to post when I first joined the site though.

The other file sizes Less posted will be fixed as the forum software can't resize .doc .pdf files etc.

So you should not be having a problem uploading to here due to the file size.
