Welcome to the forum.

To attach your photo`s click attachment, then click browse, then you will be able to select the picture you have chosen, double click on the selected pic. then click on add file. As if your sending an email.

Nick.

Hi Caroline

you have to cut your pictures down so they are less than 512kb, i normally cut my pictures down to between 450 and 600 pixels, so the kb are less than 512.

then do as i said earlier. hope that helps. [always preview before you submit anything]

And don't forget to use Jpeg compression. This can cut the file size down enormously with minimal loss of detail in the picture. Make another copy of the photo as "save for web". Keep your original but give the "save for web" some other name - such as "piccie123-compressed". Upload the "piccie123-compressed" photo (not the original) as that will have fewer kbs.

And welcome to the friendliest forum on the web.

Jack
