I can't upload photos in the monthly contests

It says I exceed the size, but even compressing each image to a much smaller size than the maximum allowed, I can't upload them. Why?

I'm using my Android mobile phone.

- The photo dimensions must be between 300x300 and 1400x1200 pixels (WxH)
- Recommended dimensions: 1200x800 for horizontals, 800x533 for verticals
- To ensure smooth loading, photos must be no larger than 1.5MB in file size

We recommend that you use our attachment system to ensure you are within limits

The attachment system should automatically scale your photos if they are too big. You are also welcome to host your photos off-site if that's easier for you, and just embed the link.

I haven't exceeded the pixel and size limits, yet I can't upload any resized image.

It says I exceed my quota ¿?

Yet, I'm adding couple of links from flickr (original image and below size & pixel limits) and the web doesn't show any of both.

It's possible that you are out of attachment space. You may be able to use the albums instead, or donate to increase the quota.

I'd be happy to check the Flickr link problem. Could you post it here? Usually the issue with Flickr links is when they point to the page with the photo, not the photo itself.

I've clicked the icon "picture" to upload the images adding [IMG] before and [/IMG] after each link, but no success.

Yup, as I mentioned above, the links should point to the image itself (not the page). Here's the code to paste into your contest submission post:

Thank you! I ignore how to copy the URL of the photo itself in flickr.
