It’s obvious that many of the posters selling stuff here don’t have a good idea how to size their photos so they show up correctly within a standard computer screen.  If you have Microsoft Office you likely have Microsoft Office Picture Manager.  If so once you have taken a photo right click on it and select “open with”.  Then select Microsoft Office Picture Manager.  Click on "edit pictures…" on top of the screen & the edit pictures menu will open.  Click on "resize" & select “Percentage of original width x height:".  Now use the up and down arrows to resize the photo.  I typically resize photos to be posted here to no larger than 900 or so pixels wide.  Once you have resized the photo click on “OK” then don’t forget to save it by clicking on “file” then click on “save”.  Here’s an example of a photo that is 899 pixels wide.

If that's too large for the item being sold, which the 1st photo below is at 900 pixels wide, scale it down some using the same process.  If you have other photo editing software, resize your photos to similar pixel widths.  BTW, the 2nd photo is reduced to 602 pixels wide & the 3rd photo is 403 pixels wide.

I use the free below picture posting service " postimage " and choose the size setting being shown below. Then choose the picture and then scroll down to Hot Link for forums click on it to copy it and then past it here and below it is the size of the picture that we will all get. Just do a Google search to find this free and easy to use site.

The photo limit is 500 kb, don’t know how that translates to dpi

Rather than resize to directly link them here, I use a third party site to do it.

go to:  (You need to Login or Register to view media files and links)

click on start uploading

It will open a window, where you can select the pictures you want to use, and then click "open".

It will show you the pictures, and you click the upload button.

When it says upload complete, make sure the pull down menu below show BBCODE fully linked.

Now, hover over the line below that showing a url and it will say copy, so click on it.

Now, just go back to the ASSRA posting window, and paste (control v) that url into your message.  The picture will come in perfectly sized, and in excellent quality.

The only caveat to this is that the pictures will not be permanent, they seem to go away after a few weeks or months.

The apple command key (with the 4 circle symbol) is the same as the PC Control key.  If you have Preview on your iPad it will resize photos.
