Apparently any attachment uploads need to be smaller than 100 KB file size... you should be able to resize your images to fit within that file size by reducing the pixels dimensions, reducing the quality / increasing the compression, or a combination of both. This can be done with pretty much any image editing program; if you don't have any editing software (some usually come with your digital camera or scanner), here is the first free one I found: http://www.mihov.com/eng/ir.html

Just a friendly piece of advice: the "f" word is okay but they frown severely on the "gd" word. It makes Patman very upset.

Lots of people do use attachments, so it's not everyone, but what those people are doing is hosting the image on a website they have and then using the [img] codes to display the image in their message. Like this (but with an image uploaded on your own website, of course):

[img]https://ls1tech.com/ads/HPE.gif[ /img]

without the extra space in the closing tag, will display this:



A lot of free website hosts don't allow remote display of images, though, so the people who want to do that have to be selective about which hosting service they sign up for.
