Anytime I want to attach a picture I took with my phone i get an error saying the file size is too large. I have to take a screen shot of the picture and crop it to be smaller to be able to attach the image. I wouldnt call this a "bug" but it's mildly annoying.

Does anyone else have this problem?

instead of attaching the picture, just upload it to an image sharing site such as imgur

You can usually change the size. I do it by importing it to my photo managing program on my computer and editing it there. You can choose something like 3-4 different size files to save it as.

Kind of a pain but it does work.

Don't know why CF isn't a bit more lenient on that with everyone using cell cameras.
