I am trying to upload some pictures of some stuff I found and the file is too large. I don't know how to "dumb down" my images so that they will load. Anyone know what I need to do?

Are you using Photobucket? If so, their is a setting in your preferences on the site where you can reduce the size of all pics you upload their.

Thanks, I tried photobucket, couldn't get it to work so now trying flickr. I don't really want to post a link, would be nice to just post some pics but I guess I'll have to settle with what I can get lol.

Have never tried Flickr, but I would think they would have a similar setting. Check your site preferences when you login and their may be an area where you can set the default upload size.

I you have windows then you more than likely have the program paint. Right click on the image and open it in paint > resize the picture by like 50% at first and see what size it is. Keep sizing the picture down to where the picture is no larger than 800 x800 for most computers are a 1000 pixels high. Then hit save as so you don't overwrite your original picture. This is very easy to do with paint which is standard on most computers. |

In your post, click the image button (you will see it, looks like a picture. It will insert the image tags, then just paste the image link in between the closing and opening brackets of the 2 tags. Like this:
[ img ] yourpicture. jpg [/ img]

Thank you 10 incher. I also thank those who have been quietly placing my posts/threads where they belong in my noobishness (it may be you for all I know lol).
