I am having difficulty uploading due to the big size of my pictures! I have looked for info and could not find it so sorry if I am posting a previous request.
Do I have to resize in photoshop or similar as I seem to have lost the ability to chose the size of upload, which was possible with "photo shack", I think, argh can't remember the name of the upload facility we used before.

Try Photobucket. Log in as

For large photos that's the better way to go: automatic thumbnail creation plus I don't have to host large photos. Downside is that you have to copy/paste the urls from uploads there to your posts here.

Please let me know how that works Tailor.

Seems to work well, I will play around with it a bit more to see which is the easiest for me. I did like the fact with Image shack (got it :mrgreen: ) we could have a thunbnail.

Thanks Matt

Tailor, I changed our Photobucket account to only show the link for thumbnails. That means any image anyone uploads using that Photobucket account will see only one bit of code to copy and paste here -- the thumbnail code.

Try it. :-) (those radial engines are awesome, btw)
