what is the method to post photos? john

Just to be clear "choosing" your photo may be a 2 part thing, clicking on your photo and clicking open.

This website restricts the size of photos that can be uploaded. In your photo gallery....open the photo that you want to upload, and then click on "properties," then you should get a menu, and you can click on "resize." After you click on "resize" you can reduce the size of the photo, then click "resize and save." This will give you a smaller photo to upload.

On my new Apple I drag the photo I want to the desk top screen, double left click it to enlarge and at the top of your screen will appear Preview, click on tools, adjust size and on new menu click on pixels and 320x320 for a small photo or larger pixels for a photo the next size up as this one is and ok.
Then to file and export, on another drop down menu I send it to documents where you can find it to post here.

If you have Windows (at least Windows prior to Windows 10) you can double click on your photo to open it in Windows Photo Viewer and select eMail at the top left. A box will come up and give you a choice of picture sizes to select from. You can then send it to yourself and when you get it save it under a new name and use that one to post to the list.

The default photo viewer I have with Windows 10 does not offer a resizing that I could find. 

The only way to reduce the size is to crop the photo.  You might have to crop too much and lose some of what you wnat to show to get it small enough 

There’s a free site called Shrinkpicturesdotcom that I use for all my photos.  For one at a time, it’s free; you have to pay to process batches.  I never do batches.

The only trick with the ASSRA site is, Never Use Preview.  It seems to erase my photos when I click on it.  I make sure everything in the typing block is coherent, then add the picture according to directions and post.

resizepic.com is so simple its something even I can do.

I think once you have used an Apple you wouldn't want to go back to a M/S.
Our old one must be eight or nine years old now and it never went wrong and no hassles and is still working ok now and only bought the new one because of the better technology, better screen and better updates.   
Its different to our old one and took a bit of time to get used to it but getting there as with reducing the size of photo's.

I have MS based computer, and wife has an Apple. I can't make heads or tails of hers, and can't even figure out how to get on the internet with it. If it's already on the internet I can't figure out how to navigate or search. 
I gave up on it.

Same as my experience.

I have been a Mac guy since before they were even made public.  I was training Apple dealer sales people on the Mac two weeks before the official announcement in 1984.  I worked t several Apple dealers and eventually ended up in a state agency where I am now in the server operations group supporting 500+ Windows servers.  We use Windows 10 as our workstations.  It is no better than Windows XP or Windows 7 except for more features.  It seems every quarter Microsoft release a new Windows 10 version which breaks many of the tools I use to manage servers until I get them upgraded.   When not a work, I use an older Mac to access the internet and mail.  I am no fan of the Apple mail client, but it works.  I use Yahoo mail for most stuff.  A browser is a browser whether Windows or Mac.  We have Chrome, Edge and Internet Explorer at work.  Chrome is by far the most compatible.  Edge it totally not ready for prime time.  I use Firefox mostly on the Mac.  I used to consider myself a computer hobbyist, but lost interest when I began working in the field.  I am ready to retire and will not miss Windows at all. Windows has its place, but Microsoft can't seem to figure out if it is a business operating system or a consumer one.

No one I know uses Edge, nor did I use Explorer. Use Chrome for routine browsing and email and newspapers, Google Search, etc. -- but refuse to use any other Google systems because of their cumbersome, "guilty until proven otherwise" protocol for pass words.

Frank,

Agree that Microsoft Office Picture Manager is about as easy as it gets.
Picture Manager wasn't part of the actual MS operating system, but was part of the Tools package that you could choose to install when you installed the separate MS Office program files.

I haven't checked the older Office version CD to see if Picture Manager could be loaded from it separately onto the MS 10 OS, but I remember that you used to be able to do so with some program files onto computers that were running some of the older earlier OS's.

Paint will also do pixels. 640 x 480 is about right.
Resize found under "properties" at the top or the page.

I was wrong. Windows Live Photo Gallery, open picture, Edit/Organize, re-open, Edit, Properties on the tool bar, Resize, select size, "Resize and Save".
Don't have to go to "Paint".
Talk about the blind leading the blind. At least, it works for me. Windows 10.
