    How To Post (upload) Photos

    To post a photo:

    MAKE SURE YOU PHOTO IS A--bmp, doc, gif, jpe, jpeg, jpg, pdf, png, psd, txt, zip.

    You photos can be:

    250KB bytes
    (Zip files can only be 54.7KB)

    1)click on the "post reply" button,

    2)Scroll down past the text box and find the box entitled "Additional Features",

    3)Inside the "Additional Features" box click the button that says "Manage Attachments",

    4)In the box that pops up click "Browse",

    5)Find your photo on your computer and click on the "open" button,

    6)Click on the "upload" button and hope your file is not too large,

    7)If the file size is ok then your file will show up in the bottom of the box as a "current attacnment",

    8)Click the "close this window" button,

    9)Finally click on the submit reply button (DO NOT preview your post as that will delete the attachment).

    I use Photoshop to reduce the image size. There are other programs out there. You could try a search of this site.

    1. open the picture(with MSpaint or whatever program)
    2. click File--->save as
    3. when the save screen pops up change the --save as type--- window to JPEG

    upload the new version of the file.

    sorry forgot to mention but the site addresses are
    www.photobucket.com and
    www.putfile.com


    both are free and image hosting is a breeze.

    I know this is old but it comes up a lot on forums. For many I think Microsoft's Power Toy is the easiest way to reduce the size of pictures for forums and email. It's free... Find picture, right click, choose size, done.

    http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/d...powertoys.mspx

    This is what you want...

    Image Resizer
    This PowerToy enables you to resize one or many image files with a right-click.
