the biggest bummer of the new "Trader" is that I can add any pics to my postings!!
It says that I must delete some pics to be able to add new ones?? And it is saying that I am something like 12M over the limit.
How the heck can you keep pics attached to postings if you keep deleteing pics to add new ones??

Same problems here Dennis. I reduced my original picture to 67kb, JPG. I tried to attach it to a post. The trader file box shows my picture at 67kb but, I get an error message that my file is 3.2Mb over the limit when I "attach". That is about the size of my original picture.
