I have not been able to do this yet!
have read all post in this forum !

have resized my photos to proper size

What needs to be done is someone to write a procedure.

and stick it at the top of this forum

Its problably a simple thing I'm not doing but been trying for several days now!

I've written the directions about 10 times.

How are you trying to enter your album

Through the Hyperlink on the top right hand side of the page?

Through your Control panel?

I just uploaded one in there with no problems!

What size in pixels are they?
Right click a file icon on you computer
then click properties

They are 1024x768- 320kb

is that the correct size ?

That should be fine .

Send it to me and let me try.

It is the picture size anything over 300kb will not upload. The picture size 313kb will not upload

I guess I'll have to change the camera settings unless theres another way to reduce there sizes

I got one to upload but it was only 218 kb.
but I removed it because it wasn't a truck it was my sons 94gt mustang .

thanks Dennis

Photos of about 50k-70K in size look just fine on the web. Anything larger and you're doing your fellow users a disservice because their download times get really long.

Ken ,
I guess I need to change the camera settings ,this is a new digital camera ,just learning about it .

and by no means do I want to cause slow down loads or take space from your site .

Thanks for the reply !

I will try when the weather gets nice ,its snowing here now! yuck!

Don't charge cam settings. The larger picture is better for your use. Paint Shop Pro makes resizing a snap.
Pics size down great, but sizing up usually causes pixelization.

Resize a large pic , for use on this or similar forums, to 600 wide and "smart size" it. This way, you won't have to pan sideways to see whole pic( a real PITA).

Just my 2 cents.
