In whatever program you use to view and edit pictures, there is probably a heading at the top (like "file" or "edit") that says "image". Click on that heading and you will probably see a heading that says "resize". Click on that and it normally will bring up a box that will have the image size in "pixels" or in "inches". Try using 640 x 480 pixels (or anything close) or 3x5 inches (or close). There may be a box that says "aspect ratio" and that should be checked. All that means is that as you resize, the length and width will maintain the same ratio, ie 3x5 and 6x10 have essentially the same ratio length x width.


Your file size is linked directly with the image size (L x W) and resolution, so making the images smaller should get you where you want to be. Also, if it accepts the image for "forum posting", you will not be able to see it until you submit the post itself. You will not see the photo when you click "preview", but you can click "preview" and scroll back down to "manage attachments" and see your file listed there. If it is listed, when you submit your post, it will show up in the body of your post.

Hope that helps.
