I get subject error message when uploading 1,129 KB .jpg image file.
Whereass a 76 KB .jpg works fine. I'm using MT v3.34

Another question ---> How do I burn off unneeded resolution when most of my posings will be 150 x 150 pixels. One way I've done this it to email them to myself and when it asks, do you want to send lower resolution file size, I click yes. Looking for something quick.... a very simple photo editor.

upload limits are generally set by your host provider at the server level. CGIUpload can be used to specify one for MT, but the largest file you will still be able to upload will always be the smaller of your ISP's upload limit or the setting for CGIUpload.

I use IrfanView to do most of my basic image manipulations. There are others out there, but I find IrfanView has a decent set of features for a good price.

The file upload size is limited by MT to 1 MB

To extend this limit you have to add a line to your mt-config.cgi file

CODE
CGIMaxUpload 10000000


This above sample will extend your upload limit to about 9.53 MB

CODE
CGIMaxUpload 104857600


is for 10 MB smile.gif

Make sure when you download/upload your mt-config.cgi you set your FTP tool transfer to ASCII mode
