It's so good to see you posting some more pictures MJ. See you've been wandering off to South America too!!!

A super picture lad - very well done.

BTW the size of your images is too large to produce a thumbnail. I've created one for this picture and thought I'd let you know how to do it, it is quite simple.

All I did was to save a copy of your picture onto my desktop and then used my photo editing software to re-size the image (don't forget to save that to the copy on the desktop). I usually do this at 1500px on the longest side. Then click on the Three Dots on the RHS above the messages. Select Change Thumbnail from the drop-down. Then on the next screen select Custom Image and browse for your re-sized image... double-click and it's done. This hasn't affected your image in the Gallery, just allowed the thumbnail to display.

When uploading pictures it's safest to keep them below 2500px but most people upload their images any where between 1000 and 2000px.
