Photo on forum help

[backinsaddle]

Sorry for this dumb question. I see members that post photo's about trips or modifications. When I tried to post a photo, it keeps telling me it's too big.
Also some you offer a link to a photo library. Can you provide some best practices to do this. thank you!

When I take a pic, I open paint and reduce the size. (I forgot the size though)The one I save in paint is the pic I use.

Uncheck the box below the url where it says 'upload the pic' and you will be fine.

Best way is to create an account on Flickr.com or Photobucket.com.

1. Upload your photos there first.
2. Edit your photo if needed there.
3. Copy and paste the IMG tags of that photo (with link) to the post here.
4. Voila! Magic. The photo shows up here as long as you don't remove them from the photo websites.

This minimises the storage of this Forum.
Good luck!

I simply upload the photo to photobucket the save the IMG code and paste it into the post on this forum. this has worked fine for me so far.
BTW this is actually simpler to do than it reads on here
