2. When you Post or reply to a post, you should see 14 Icons on top of the open message text.
3. The fourth Icon should resemble a picture frame with a mountain in the picture.
4. This is the IMAGE icon. You will use this to place images on your post or replies.

Open your picture with your software picture and save it as a smaller object by resizing it. For example, I use the olympus software and my pictures are always over the size limit. I resize the image to a smaller size then save the "Shrunken" picture. Same thing with my scans, just resize to smaller dimensions.

You should not need to make all pictures smaller in image size to post them. You need to compress the file size. Most software nowadays allows you to set the amount of jpeg compression for a smaller file size without making the image size smaller. The more you compress it the more image quality you loose as an example here is an image that is 400 X 400 pixels. The first one was saved at medium/high quality settings and is 49k. The second image still 400 X 400 pixels was saved at low quality and is 18k.

Many thanks for the tips. My camera takes pretty intensive high meg pictures and always wondered how to "crop" them down.

Can you see these? I can't, but maybe it's because my webserver is sitting here with me behind the NAT.

If anyone wants me to host a picture for them (no size limitation) I'd be happy to. Then you'll be able to post the pic without any restriction on the size.
