    @SheriGR  Thank you so much.  It's nice to know it isn't just me.  That is exactly what I see.  The first time I tried to answer a post with an attachment and clicked on the attachment while at the compose window, I got it too which makes a little sense.  But afterwards, it worked just fine in the thread.  I did try downloading after I last posted about this and that does work ok.  Sorry to be such a bother.  Thank you again.

    @CGrant56 No problem at all! I just hadn't tried to open an attached photo since it kicked in, so now I know also. 🙂

    @CGrant56, I'm glad @SheriGR answered first!  She knows a lot more about stuff like this than I do! 🙌
    Since I have only included screenshots from within the game by using the game's camera on this site, I just use the "Insert/edit Image" button next to the Link button and Emoji button here.  I don't have to mess with worrying about size since I'm using this sites formatting bar and EA's game for the pictures.  I just figured if they don't approve of the size of the pictures, then they would change the way this site accesses/displays them! 😃 😛 😉

    @PugLove888 @CGrant56 I should probably clarify that part - On this forum there should not be any need to compress or prep your image, as it will normally allow it to insert in the post via the image button directions. The only reason you may want to compress it or prep in any way yourself is if you're using the option to insert at full size. I avoid that option since it tends to freeze up my reply. If you try adding it at full size you should make a local copy of the message you composed in case it freezes up and gets lost. Unfortunately I think most of us have learned that one the hard way. ☹️

    @SheriGR @PugLove888   You guys are absolutely great!!!!!!  (Think Tony)  Thank you both so much.  

    BTW, My screenshots are 1920x1200 which is a bigger size.  I'll give it try when I need to share one in a post.  If it doesn't work, I'll resize it down.  Just have to wait and see.  Also want to try the spoiler thing too.  I like the way that works.  Thanks again.

    Here I'm using a picture that is listed at "full size" , which was default in this sites photo manager. I saw that there is also a Large, Medium, and Small option. I don't know if Large is bigger than Full Size or if it is smaller.  I don't even know how big my screenshots are.  I just have always used the default.  Nobody has told me it is wrong, and I've been including pictures in my posts here for years. 🤨

    I don't know if it will show up, since this site has been having problems displaying pictures the last couple of days.  🤔🤞

    @PugLove888 @CGrant56 That may be why it doesn't like my 'full size' so well... mine are over 3000px in width. Overkill. I just pick 'large' as otherwise I have to resize first for it to be accepted. My ole screen ruler extension was buggy so I just added a different one and it measures yours at 942px wide, PugLove, so I don't think it's measuring it right. Crazy software. Hate when I need to hunt down new tools! Anyway, yours is bigger than mine are when I choose 'large' though.
