Does any one have any suggestions What I do is upload them to Flickr.com and then you have a choice of what size to post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twocoda Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 (edited) upload to photobucket or image shack and just copy the image code into your post.... Edited February 17, 2012 by Twocoda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 Right click on photo while in Windows > Send to Mail recipient. It will ask you if you want to resize.. Select the size you want, copy the pics back out of the email and bingo! Simple resizing in less then 10 seconds Then upload the photos to Photobucket and copy the IMG information into your thread.

Tried this but we dont have a windows based email address. So it would not allow it. Thanks though this seemed easy. I found another window based editor that worked, thank god my brother doesent mind talking me through this computer stuff one step at a time. Thanks very much for the help. @ the other two suggestions thanks as well. I will try those options later when the vein in my fore head stops pulsing.

young_one Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 I second the idea of creating an account on Photobucket or similar sites. Advantages: 1. photos are backed-up in a relatively low compressed rate 2. the website has securities settings and password locks for your photo albums. (avoiding lurkers to examine every detail of all your photographs) 3. Easy links to share via forum, email, instant-chats. Quick and easy turtorial video on Posting photos using photobucket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
