Looks like my resizing didn't work, let me try it again: 700x525

If you don't have a graphics program to resize and crop images here's a fairly easy way to resize the gigapixel images in windows with good quality and no loss of image details. It may sound like it's complicated but if you do it a few times, it's simple.

Find and open the image with windows photo viewer.
Size the window to a reasonable size by grabbing and dragging the corners (to say 1/2 the screen width)
press and hold the ALT KEY and the print screen key (making sure you didn't click anything but windows photo viewer)
open microsoft paint (If you don't know where it is click START, RUN and type in mspaint or look in START/ALL programs/accessories)
Press the Control and V keys (this copies the printscreen into MSpaint)
Use the SELECT tool to mark the area you want to crop
press CROP and SAVE the newly sized image.

Why not just open your image using MSpaint (aka paint) and then click on resize in the Home menu, select pixel and change to 640 vertical x 480 horizontal (you only need to type in one, paint will figure out the other), then save. That way keeps the same height/width aspect.
You can also rotate your image using paint.

YUP, but with a screenshot I don't guess or play with image size. Whatever works is better than humongous images :-)

Sorry for reviving this tread from the dead , just wanted to practise picture posting ,and thought this is the place

Sorry for the bump but can someone explain the easiest way to add pictures? The “add image to post” is gone and I suck with computers. Thanks in advance,

Simon

easiest is to use the free Postimages website to upload your image, then just "control C" after you highlight the "Hotlink for forum" to copy this line and then "control V" to paste it in your post.

Here's the "postimages" link below.

Here's what your message/post will look like before you save it.

The Add image to post is still showing up on my end. Is it not showing up for everyone else?

The Postimages 'Add image to post' still shows up for me.

Murahilin, it’s not showing up on my end for some reason.

Thanks for the info 70Malibu! I’ll try it out if I still can’t get it to work.

My OS is Windows 7, old stuff. I don't use iPhone either, Android.

The post image option has disappeared for me. This has happened before, then it returned, as if nothing had ever happened.
