I tried to submit an image for the 18+ POTD Women contest but I got a message back saying my image was too big and it needs to be UNDER 16k in size!
Under 16k? That doesn't make any sense. Anyone else run into this issue? Is there a fix? Thanks!

Yes, I've gotten the same message.

Yes, it works to simply ignore that ridiculous typographical error.

I think once I had to reload the page and re-do with a slightly smaller sized image. But usually it allows me to fix the error. I forget how I did the math on getting the largest image possible within the parameters, but now it's preset in my digital image software so I can save to within whatever the parameters are that they've stated somewhere in the contest rules.

Hope that helps at this late date.

Yours,
Bill

I think we've been laughing at the typo for years (decades?), as for the sizing I've kept image size to 900p on the longest side and that works well for me
