Picture posting...HELP!

[Sniper Chuck]

Every time I try to post a pic I get the "too large" message. I have tried from my computer and through photobucket. I see in other posts pics that are as large as 800x600. All I get is a thumbnail size. What gives? How about detailed instructions somewhere? Like John & Mike don't have anything better to do with all the problems a new board presents. Anybody???

Posting Images in forums:

Special Note: You may need to resize your picture first if you took the picture in to high a resolution. 640X480 is where you should have your camera setting if you are not going to print the picture and only use it for emails and the internet.

Submitting pictures to forums larger then the screen size is very annoying and wastes valuable space on their server and you home computer. Here is an easy way to resize your pictures using Microsoft's "Imageresizer" IT ONLY WORKS WITH WINDOWS XP. It a small program and easily downloaded. Go to: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx and Scroll down to Image Resizer.

Step One

1) Start by uploading your picture to a web host for pictures (photobucket, cqbarms.com, others)
2) Next go to the picture you want to post in the forum.
3) Make sure it is full size
4) Right Click in the middle of the picture.
5) A menu will pop up, Left click on PROPERTIES.
6) Another menu will pop up.
7) Highlight the Address: URL: should look similar to this: http://cqbarms.com/photos/albums/userpics/10025/222AIrem.jpg
8) Right click on the highlight
9) A menu will pop up and Left click on COPY.
10) Close this window (menu) by clicking on X in upper right hand corner.

Step Two

Now go to the Forum and thread that you want to post your picture to.

1) Click on REPLY or NEW THREAD or where ever you are posting the message.
2) Put your cursor in the message window where you want the picture to appear.
3) Now look for the IMAGE command, may be an icon or the word.
4) Click on it and a window will appear: USER PROMPT.
5) With http:// highlighted Right click on the highlight.
6) Now Left click and choose PASTE from the menu.
7) Click on OK

Now you will see something similar to this in your message box.

OK, I followed your instuctions, I must be screwing up somewhere as the pic I tried to post is 470 x 587. All that came up is the link. I'll try another.
