Default Photo posting question

Sorry to bug everyone but I have finally gotten around to taking some photos of my car however I cannot post them as they are too big :
Can someone let me know how to decrease the size so I can put a few up? Moderators sorry if I have put this thread in the wrong spot. I have tried a search with no luck. Thanks in advance, John

John if you are using windows and have a copy of Office 2003 there is a program called Microsoft Office Picture Manager (the path would be Microsoft Office, Microsoft Office Tools, then select Microsoft Office Picture Manager
e.g.
C:\Documents and Settings\XXXl Users\Start Menu\Programs\Bill Gates\Microsoft Office\Microsoft Office Tools\

Its has a simple resize option

Another handy one is "Irfanview".

It's a small freebie and a couple of clicks has images resized.

Easiest way is to sign up to photobucket.com and host them from there.

Further confusion, I have resized the pics by using Micrfosoft Office Picture Manager HOWEVER when I try and attached them to a new post I get an error message stating that it is incorrect format. They are all jpg! What am I doing wrong. Whilst I'm at it I have decreased a pic to the allowable size (100 x 75) so I can use it as a photo as part of my profile and I get another error. Once again sorry about this guys and gals

Just sign up at www.photobucket.com and upload your pics there. Then just add the [IMG] link to your posts here and you are done. No need to worry about how many attachments you have.

Thanks for that Russell, tried it but I still have no freakin idea what's going on, I simply CANNOT get to post pics here so I guess everyone will just have to guess what my car looks like. I give up. Mods can you please delete this thread? Thanks
