Todays digital camera's use high mega-pixel dimensions that may not properly upload to the forum. There are some free utilities you can use to quickly resize your images for use on this forum.
If you are using Windows XP, Microsoft offers a free powertoy for resizing images. Once installed, you can select the images you want to resize and then right click to access the resizer powertoy.

If you are using Windows Vista, there is a third party application call VSO Resizer that will do the same thing. You can also resize the images by selecting them and then using the right click to select the VSO Resizer application.

Resizing your images to fit a 1024x768 screen will usually convert them enough to be attached to messages. Larger resolutions like 1280x1024 and 1600x1400 should fit in the gallery with no problems.
I hope this helps!!
Note: We now include the ability to upload images via URL. So if you have an image located on another site that you would like to attach, you can just copy and past the URL and it will upload the file to the forum.
