resizing images to add to the forums?

Sorry not sure where to post this so please feel free to move it

Ok...I like adding my photos to get feedback but everyone is saying they are too small...I'm using jpegs and resizing the to 800x600pxls or to 100kb as that is what the upload on here says..what am I doing wrong? you guys manage to get big photos on here.............could some one please tell me what I'm doing wrong.....

Thanks..........

Many people post their photos directly from their server rather than using attachments. I personally use the attachments still and don't really know why except it's just a habit. A couple of tips to help you.. First, use the save for web command if you are using photoshop and not already doing so. Second, adjust your quality. You arent going to be able to tell the difference between a 70 quality and a 60 in your post and it will help reduce your size. Also photos with lots of pp work obviously are larger and many times will be over the 100 limit at 800 size. Hope that helps.

Ok.....I've resized it a different software from Zoom browser.....I'll see if this is bigger...

HOSTED PHOTO
please log in to view hosted photos in full size.

Thank you so much !!!! I think I have sorted the problem.....

I upload images to Photobucket which is free. ( http://photobucket.com​/ ) I upload up to full 8X10's or 10X8's this way.

Ok....I have a photobucket account and I've uploaded some pictures....so do I link the whole album or can I just link each individual photo?

its here

Copy the [IMG] tag under each photo in photobucket and then paste it here for individual photo's.

You can embed your images in your posts by using this icon

HTTP response: NOT FOUND | MIME changed to 'text/html'

Ok think I have it now......if you click on the 'here' in my last post you should see a photo????

Correct. But if you use the "Insert Image" icon I showed above the image will automatically be placed in the thread without me having to click on the link.

Ok like this?

Thanks....I really have got it now...sorry to have been a pain....

You have got it. No worries, you have not been a pain. Sometimes this can be a frustrating thing. Just make sure that if you embed the images like you have done here that they stay under the 800 pixel limit. If you post multiple images, 8 is the max per thread, that you warn others with a 56k warning in the title.

Thanks for being so patient Mike.......
