Hi Wayne, just had a look as a different admin user and that user can edit the Topic Titles fine, so as you say - its just me! Any way it can be fixed?

[JChaz]

I'll have to change a few things to test with another admin user, at the moment I'm the only active admin user so will sort that out and check with another user with admin rights. Thanks for looking in...

Is the theme you are using - Winter Theme - available somewhere? had a look through Styles - thought it might be there but no. Is this a style or theme?

Thats why I asked Wayne, even on my Windows phone (yes I still have one!) the images are over 4Mb...

[JChaz]

Ah, I see Wayne thought it was a new restriction - didn't realise it was the sites own restrictions getting in the way. Is that File size corrret at 2097152 - I've edited them all so will do some testing...

[JChaz]

Is there anything I can do to resolve the problem of uploading images direct from mobiles or other devices. The forum relies on the ability to put images up and the size taken on any phone these days...
