You guys are getting complacent with your old age!

It may be the image size that you need to reduce.

I paste rhe images into an email to myself on my i-phone and this gives you an option to reduce size of attachments. When you open the email you can save to Camera roll and create a new redux album for web uploads.

I am sure there is a better way but works for me. May be able to save a new image for the avatar?

Wow, thought this bus was long gone. Saw this bus back in the mid 80's when I used to live in Kingscliff. Could never find the place again when I visited back up there on occasions. Did a bit of roaming on google maps and came up with 6 Gala Grove Coolangatta. From the pictures posted it certainly has not moved from when I saw it.

Posting images from iPhone, I upload them to Facebook, copy and save then post straight on here no resizing needed, then just delete of FB or leave them there
Its a well known fact an OG SC will always be worth more than a DC with a checker plate tray, towel rails and PINK plates
