Screen shot size restrictions

I was just trying to post a screen shot from Tracker, but was told the file was too large (over 450KB). It was near 700KB and I have a few from Tracker that are near 800KB. Is there a work around?

Then 2 options come in my mind.

A: Load the image in windows paint and scale it down to 75% or whatever needed to cut down size.
B: Upload it to an image hosting service and put in the url here using
This should work - in therory. I never had to use this in this forum.

EDIT: Just took a look at the upload message and it's up to 5,000 KB.
So 700 should be more than OK. Does your upload screen tell different limits?
