Just to expand on MaryJo's response. You can post photos directly on the boards. As long as the size of the photo is less than 1MB, you can copy & paste, or drag & drop them into a post. You can also use the "Upload a File" button on the lower right of the posting window.Is it possible to link photos from other sites besides Photobucket?
I tried a link from GooglePhotos, and it didn't work.

I use Paint to resize. But you can also do it in Windows Photo Viewer.I've tried to upload button. I always get a message saying my file is to big. I can't figure out how to resize them. I have photos in folders on my computer that I move over from the phone. Any help will be much appreciated.

Well, my Paint version might be older than yours, but when I open a picture in Paint, There's a "Resize" option there (in the upper left).Thanks. I have it in Paint. How do I resize it?

Click on that and you can change the picture size by pixels or percentage. I use the pixels option. I just played around with it until I found the right number that makes the photo be smaller than 1MB and saved it.
I change the smallest pixel number (on the original picture) to be 1500 for starters. Then I "save as" using the same file name but adding an identifying extra letter or number. That way I don't lose the original. Once I've saved it, I hover over the new photo to see what the size comes out as. If it's still too big, I delete the new picture and do it again, making the pixel number smaller and saving again (with the new identifying number), check the size, etc, etc, etc.
After a while you start to know what numbers work for your photos.
I have Windows 7, also. My Paint opens with the same header that MaryJo posted. With the "Resize" option.Wow, thank you for all that detailed info. Your version is different from mine. I have windows 7. I was able to find a tab in attributes under images. I will play around with the numbers. Thank you so much!
