    Along the photo line of questions.

    I can post pics but have to resize them to upload. I do this with Paint.

    How can I post them larger than the uploaded size? Full screen.

    Use the image hosting feature here. Upload your photos to the server, and after they are up, you can copy the BB IMG text and paste it in a message.

    Jules,

    Thanks. How do I access the image hosting? Do you dumb down the photos first or leave them as a high res file. I have a Nikon D80 which can produce a pretty big file.

    Thanks,

    To get full screen pics, you need to host them at photobucket, www.xs.to or imageshack. Once uploaded, just post the [img] url and they will show full screen in your post. The member gallery here is 600x800 max.

    Using the forum Image Hosting you do need to reduce the photo size.

    If you use Windows XP they have a "Power Toy" called Image Resizer It's a very small application that allows you to "right click" an image and choose from three standard sizes or use a custom setting to make the image any size you want. Not only does this reduce the dimension's of viewable size (for really large photo's), but it drastically reduces the file size itself (k, Kb mg, etc.) You can also highlight and reduce two or more images at the same time. The quality of reduce photo's is not noticeably reduced. BEST OF ALL IT'S FREE

    this link will take you to the download site:

    Scroll down the right side for this file:
