Further to the issues I was having posting large images.......

This is the error I was getting:

but looking at the info / EXIF for that image, I assume it fails on image size (Mb)

No, it is not failing on image size, it may be having the same problem as MikeT's pictures. If you email the file, I will investigate.

I tried emailing it across about 20 minutes ago, but it bounced back : "message size 5273150 exceeds size limit 5120000 of server"

But.... I opened the image in my usual image software, just did a 'Save as' and changed the filename, and it's uploaded fine below:

I've checked the actual EXIF info for both the non working and working images and they are identical (as you'd expect).

It is good that you got your image to post.

I have found that there is a bug fix in the exif handling library that the forum uses, and (at least for MikeTs files), the problem is gone in the release candidate for the next version of phpBB. I can't give a date for when we will be installing the next version (which is only a minor update release), but it would probably be in one or two months time.

I have now been able to confirm that this is another example of the same problem, which will be fixed.
