If you post a photo, how do you prevent if from expanding so very large within the post.

I'm sure someone more knowledgeable than me will chime in soon enough, but I think it is a simple as modifying the pixel size of the image before you import it. Seems like when I posted some images a while back, I was running into that problem so I just opened the images in my image program, reduced the pixel size and saved them with new names (so I still had the full size pics) and then imported them to the forum. Maybe worth a try until an expert turns up?

Another option, of course, is just to download the images to one of the many online picture storage sites, then provide the url in your forum message text.

I have been trying to post pictures for a long while now, but everytime i try the forum site states i'm only allowed 300kp's and the photos are like 3000kp's, or something like that. Anyway, i give up, i'm just a big computer dummy.
Jefe, that looks like an alien coming of your chest. Smile
