Insert ("paste") that same address link you've captured, wherever .... in your text .... you intend for the picture to appear. Add this to the beginning of the address though: [img] And then add this, to the end of that address: [/img] Now click that you are done editing, and return to the forum.

Another way instead of actually typing "[img]" and "[/img]" would be to simply click the "Image" button and then just paste your picture address link in the popup window, then click "OK".

Good info Captn. See, you can teach an old dog new tricks! However, maybe you can learn a new trick on how to resize your great posts so I don't have to scroll to the right to see all your finds!

• 
  
• First you need to name and save the photo to your PC, the easiest way to learn is to save the photo to My Documents.
  
• Then open Microsoft Paint.
  
• When MS Paint opens you should be able to see a tool box menu on the left, if you don’t, go to the top and click on the view tab, make sure tool box and color bar boxes are checked.
  
• Now on the top of the page and click on file, in the drop box click on open.
  
• The open menu will appear, if you don’t see the photo, click the drop box tab to the right of the Look In window.
  
• In the drop box menu click on My Recent Documents or the file you save the photo to.
  
• When My Recent Documents opens double click on the photo and it should open (but it will look very large).
  
• Now go back to the top and click the image tab.
  
• The drop box file menu will appear, click on stretch/skew tab
  
• Now you’re going to shrink the photo down, to do so change the horizontal and vertical numbers from 100, to 30 and then click the OK tab.
  
• Now go back to the top and click the file tab again, and then click on the save as tab.
  
• When that opens the name of the photo should be highlight next to File name: at the bottom, change that by renaming the photo and then clicking on the save tab.
  
• Now you’re done, when you post the photo use the resized one.
  
• Let me know if I left something out, or if something isn’t understandable.

au2, thanx for the info. I too use "paintshop" image "skew" command, to shrink it down it down from 100x100 to somewhere around 30x30, or 50x50, etc....

However, I lost you at this step:

"Now go back up and click on the Image tab again, then click on the attributes tab, in that drop box make sure that Pixels circle is selected and then change the width to 720 and the height to 450 and then click the OK tab."

What happens if you skip that step, and only just shrink it by 28x28 or whatever? I never do the step you describe here.
