I did a test photo in the forum help section and I see why I'am getting an error message the JPEG is showing a large pic almost half the page in size . Each pic is 1.16MB . Downloaded to my computer via a camera card. How do I shrink it's size ?

Here is what I do,


Re-sizing pictures for posting purposes
1.      Save the picture from the SD card to my pictures
2.      Right click on desired image in my pictures
3.      Send to
4.      Mail recipient, this creates an email, send it to yourself.
5.      Open the email
6.      Right click on the image icon
7.      Save as; it’s self in my pictures
8.      When it asks, image already exist, replace it? Yes
9.      Now the image is small enough to attach to posts. 

I made this a word doc and saved it. Otherwise I would never remember the details.

Many cameras have a setting that allows you to change the size of the image,

If you have Microsoft Office Picture Manager, you can use that program to open up your original picture, then select the "Picture" tab near the top, and then use "Compress Pictures" from the drop-down list where you can then compress the original size downward to fit Documents, Web pages, or E-mail messages. The smaller file size is shown depending on which choice you select.
Then save it, and post it.

I think previewing the message with photos attached will wipe out the photos.  At least it used to.  It drove me nuts (well, more nuts) until someone clued me in.
