Rockerted, The reason your images don't upload to the site is because they are simply too big. Now when I say too big, I don't mean that their height and width is too big but the actual file size is too big. The three files you are trying to upload are; 544.0 KB, 612.0 KB and 583.7 KB and the current maximum size I've set for a .jpeg image (within forum post attachments ONLY because the gallery permits any size) is 341.8 KB.

Now I know I could increase this file size, but the size has to have a limit somewhere otherwise It'll cost a ridiculous amount for the sites hosting, and we're not exactly YouTube are we.

So the problem remains, how to upload your oversize images to your posts? Well you can do it in one of three ways;
1 - Reduce the height and width of the image by about 25% and that should in turn reduce the file size enough to allow you to upload the image.
2 - Reduce the image quality will also reduce the file size.

The are a multitude of methods you can use to reduce the size of an image from online tools to software on your PC, however my recomendation is.....

3 - Upload the image to the Ducatisti Gallery and then link that image into your post, then you have stored the image on the site and can use it again and again in different posts.

Hopefully somebody else will be along to explain how you link in an image from the gallery to a post like this below....

I've added you pictures to the SuperSport Gallery for you!
