Can anyone give me a few tips on reducing your picture sizes so they can be posted in the gallery?
And how do you post a picture on the boards?

I am normally very good at this but our camera is so good I have truble getting the sizes small enough for it??

I use adobe photoshop elements to resize my photos--but imagine you could resize your photos with any photo editing software, there's a few free one online too

I use Microsoft Office Picture Manager - if you have it, right click on the photo, select open with, select Microsoft Office Picture Manager (or which ever photo editing software you have). If you have Microsoft Office Picture Manager, then click on "edit picture" (found at the top of the screen), a few options will appear on the right click resize or compress picture, both works. Hope you figure it out soon :)
