Default Resizing Pics

Hey guys. I took some nice hi-res shots of my SS yesterday but upon uponing them up in the computer they are supersized. Is there a program or soom way I cant shrink them down in order to post them up? I dont want to post a link to photobucket because I want them in the tread. Any help would be appreciated!

cool thanks, still not working. I thought I had it. They are over 500kb so a lot of the free sites wont let me resize them there and Im at work no software on the computer. Guess I will have to wait till i get home!

try www.tinypic.com. upload it to there then
download it to your computer then resize it.
i think tinypic brings the kb count down

yeah, we slowed down around VA and again near D.C. otherwise 100+ with the t-tops off on a beautiful day! Felt bad for the guy I bought it from. Was co-owner of a company that must have been pretty successful and they ended up going bankrupt. Went from a 3500sq foot house and 7 camaros in his collection to a 1800sq foot home and nothing but an old Chevy Blazer, his wifes SUV, and his first Camaro, a 71 fully restored numbers matching. My 02 I bought from him had 9k miles on it (this was in March 07) and never seen rain or bad weather, garaged, and waxed about every other week. It was pristine. I gave him 4k in cash, and a loan check for 20k. That was a good deal for him and me, since the book was right at 24-27 and the sticker on the car was 37k and some change. I was happy since Ive wanted one since I was a kid. And a vert, OMG. Its awesome.

im not too sure on that one.
the best way to be safe with that - just add a thumbnail attachment.

thumbnail attachments are pixel limited....500x150 it says. However, if you go to google and search free picture resizing it will give you sites where you can upload the picture, choose just 500 pixel resize, and it changes it for you. You can then resave the pic and post as a thumbnail. I too would like to know how to post the large pics in the forums like some do though.

its large.
when you post a reply, you have the choice of posting a picture as a thumbnail (the paperclip in the toolbar) or as a picture (the yellow picture with a mountain in the tool bar)
