Oh, only 2.8 MEGs. Well, that's not bad. That's only, what, a 100 times larger than the maximum size you can upload here.

Your camera is capable of taking photos that will be printed out as 8 by 10s. Unless you learn to edit photos to a reasonable size you will have nothing but failures when you try to use them online.

I know you said, "but it's the same as i upload on any other site or email,". No sir, that's not true. 2.8 megs is way past the PHP Upload limit on all forum and blog servers. It may work at photobucket, but that's a different thing entirely. And the vast majority of email systems will reject anything over 1 or 2 megs as well.

Make your photo under 1600 px by 1600 px and make is less than 300,000 kb and you'll do fine uploading here -- untill you reach your 5 meg limit and then it will stop working because you are only allowed 5 megs here.
