BMP pictures are  to large, well almost, try to convert them to JPG or GIF they are better for Internet, and you can also do them smaller in KB
Her you have the same picture in 3 different sizes, you can't see the different even i have taken away some of the color, original this picture was nearly 7 MB

I have to do this often, as I use the free version of FRAPS that only saves pictures as BMP.
Open the picture, right click on it, choose top option work, don't change pic and click on File-save as, save as JPEG..  
 It should now be small enough to post  :)
