How do i upload a picture on here as i think it is a 2mb limit on the size of the picture and when i try to upload 1 from my camera it says it is too large

A second chance. But redemption follows not a change of body, but a change of heart.

You need to resize the photo before you upload it. If you don't have software on your computer that can do it for you, there are tons of places online:

Here's a link to the first result and it looks easy enough to use:

Windows paint. Copy and paste or open file. Use cutting tool and left click. Click on stretch and skew. Type in some numbers. It accords to percent so try it out. Press 'OK' and you're done!

I think I sound like a computer. Heh, oh well.

Thanks lemonlilly did not know you could use Windows paint, and thanks to all who answered.

You're welcome. I've been looking for hidden tools.

also, when I want to post a picture here really quickly to answer a question, I set the resolution in the camera down to around 1000 x 1000 or so. Copy the pic from the camera, post and then set it back again. This saves me the trouble of additional steps before posting.
