A few times I've had someone trying to post something, and it won't post it for them without me accepting it first. I had no idea why this was happening at first, especially because at the time it was only affecting one person, but now it's affected a few people.

I think Wix must have made some changes to people trying to post things with large image files. If you are posting something with a lot of images or those images are a large file size, it will not automatically load your post when you submit it, instead it will be submitted to me for authorisation, which could take a few hours if I'm not online at the time.

The reason for this is because most the time there is no need for the files to be so big and you can just reduce the size. Depending on what editing software you are using, maybe directly on your phone or a windows program or a dedicated graphics programme the way to do this is going to be different, sometimes my phone asks me if i want a small medium or large file size, sometimes i have to reduce the actual size of the photo. Usually the camera will take a far bigger photo than you realise, it just changes the size of it to fit the screen size you are viewing on. I think when people are having problems, the cause is probably their photos are huge but they can't tell because it's being sized to fit the screen. The trouble is you are still uploading the huge file size even if the photo shows as much smaller. Make a copy of the original file and make the copy smaller and post the copy on here, that way if anything goes wrong you have the original file unharmed.

Thanks all.
