Message Hi Patrick, The limitation of the size of the file, has little to do with the size of the photo. When you save a photo within your photo software as a .jpg, you are usually given an option of what quality level to save it at (JPEG Options), usually on a scale of 1 to 12. This will control how much information the photo is saved with. At a higher setting, it would have more information, and thusly be a larger file. This might mean that I could download your photo and be able to blow it up to a larger size without much loss of quality. At a lower setting it will display in the forum just fine, but I would not be able to enlarge it without it getting blocky. So, in your photo software, crop the photo to include just the object, and then size it at about 600 x 600 pixels, click File, Save As, select where you want to save it to (desktop is handy), name the file and click Save, this will usually open your JPEG Options window, which should have a quality slider, select a value of 5 or 6 and click OK. DON'T close the photo just yet...check the size first. If you saved to your desktop, you should now find the photo there. Placing your cursor over the file should open a box to tell you what the size is. If it is larger than 100 KB, DELETE the file on your desktop, go back to the photo software and repeat the process with a lower value from 6 to 5, or from 5 to 4 etc, and resave the file to your desktop, and re-check the size. Another option is to go to Webshots, open a free account, and upload your full-sized photos there. You can then copy the address of the folder the photos are in and paste it into the Link URL: field just below the message field you are typing in for the forum, then in the URL Title field just below that, type in My Webshots folder, and you should be good to go.
