Hello andrewthebestes,

Well there is a limit, 512kb if I am not mistaken, so you'll have to get it down to that size or else it wont go.

What file format is it? perhaps you can open it with Paint, or - if you have it - Paintshop or Photoshp, and save it into a smaller format or resize it, something like that.

Regards,
Fred

              Hi Tim used this very good to resize pictures but you can only use it for 30 DAYS,then you have to pay for it Sorry.
Still have mine but out of date now if i need it again will buy it,but will say it's very easy to use think it's three clicks then the jobs done.

www.imageshack.us is a better alternative in my opinion, you can use it for as long as you want (You don't have to register)

Hi Captain,
              As Follows click on Additional options - Browse to the picture you want to send.
Then Click OPEN this will put in in the Attach file ready to upload.
Must be under 512 MB to upload also can send up to 5 Pics on one post,
then you write a comment then click Post - Done.

Hope helps once you have done it a few times will seem easier.  Cheers Timbo  :) :) :)

right-click on this pic, when it says "save as" make sure you put it in " my images"..
After that, you can upload it in your message (from "my images") in "additional options"..

What does it say?

Remember too attach a image, Additional Options > Browse > Post.

If it is "to large" go to www.imageshack.us > Browse > *Check Resize Image > set resize image to 640*480 (For Message Boards) > Upload.

Then get the "Direct Image" link and click the image button right above the smiley :) then paste the link in between
Code: [Select]
[img] and [/img]
