I load all my pictures to my free Imgur account and then click on the size choices there to post here. It lets me post whatever size I want since it's just a link and the pictures aren't loaded to this forum.
I'm very low tech, so resizing images is something I've never done or tried to do.


Ditto Imgur, agree 100%, but I go another 50% and post the pics directly with no link-ing. I dislike links, and having to click on links just to see a pic.

Size selection is a piece of cake.

You don't have to click any links with Imgur loaded pictures. They show up without any clicking. Like this:

I use the BBCode link (for message boards and forums) that posts them without clicking on anything.

Looks like I have four choices.
1) Get new phone
2) Get new upgraded desktop for Windows Paint
3) Get third party host site to downsize
4) Forget about it and don't post photos
It really shouldn't have to be this difficult for us old computer illiterate folks.

There is a 5th choice.

You can always send your pics to one of us to resize and post for you. 

I've done that more than a few times for folks here on the forum.
  

I'm not a complete idiot, some of my parts are missing.

You are not alone my friend. The struggle is real. I desperately want to be able to post pictures and have tried in the past with dismal results. My daughter said she would show me but she is always busy and I hardly see her anymore. She is a prosecutor and just got off a murder trial where she was out of town and sequestered in a motel for two weeks. Always busy. I have had people who posted them for me in the past but I hate to ask anyone to do it.

That was not so hard, once you told me the size. Think I'll try again.

I used to be able to post photos. All I have is an iPad and it had a built in photo sizer. Click on the photo, pick #1,2,or 3 for sizing and post! Simple! Then apple did an “upgrade and bug fix”and it eliminated the resize option, and now I can’t downsize or do anything to be able to resize pictures to post.😡

If any of you are still running Windows 7 or Windows 10, you can go to Internet Archives and do a search for Windows Essential, open it up and just check the parts you want downloaded for free. Photo Gallery is what you need and it allows you to size pictures fairly easily. Go into organize pictures and your pictures will show up and then choose resize, it lets you choose large, medium, small Etc. Microsoft eliminated Photo Gallery from later editions of Windows 7 and didn't put it on Windows 10 and It PO'd a lot of people.
