To add to Robs post..............
                                                  If you find your pics are to big and you are unable to upload to your post,download "VSO image resizer" it`s free & simple to use.
Once you have VSO on your PC:
Right click on selected pic.
Right click on VSO.
Click on continue.
Click on profile.
select-640x480 (upto 4 pics can be added to your post at this size)
Click on Action.
Select-Resize original.
Click on OK.
Once complete(takes 5secs) click on close & Job done!
Once you have resized the pic follow Robs instructions from number 3.  ;)

Also, just add if I may, that if you use photobucket to store you Shots, you can link them directly in to your posts which saves the sights bandwidth, as you are only adding active links not actual photos.

Word of advice as well , when resizing in 'Paint'  when you come to save .

Click Save as
Then choose JPeg as type.

To add to Robs post

You can save your down sized picture to "save as" "or save"

Only difference is with "Save" your original Picture will be down sized too
 with "savs as" you'll get an identical copy on the original except on will be small .
also choose Jpeg because places like the Ad trader only exepts Jpeg pictures

hope this makes sense lol

regards
Phil
