Technical Support needed... Why are my pics so huuuugge on "skin the bottom" post? Everyone else's posts with pics are regular size. I am going to the lake this weedend and will take pics of the underside in action. Is there something I need to do with my camera to post regular sized pics? Don't get me wrong..Large pics are great when they are of boobies. :boobies :rockon :drink

You need to use a resizing program I use imageShack to resize and store my pictures, but there are many to chose from.

You want them 640x480 or less for boards

I see on my digital camera where I can change the size of the pictures, one is for e-mail. I will try this.

I use photobucket and when I upload the pics there it resizes them, they also give you the IMG tags you need, you just copy and paste them into the post, I would guess imageshack does the same thing.

This is my favorite picture that I have taken, it was in Evarts Ky on Thanksgiving day we were there ATV Riding.

My other favorite picture is of the fireworks at disney land but I don't think I have that one online to share.

I use 800 x 600 or 1024 x 768 because I'm posting mostly boobs and no one's complained :)

I had the same issue with my first post last week. Instead of saving the picture as a GIF or JPEG file, I saved it as a web page and a box popped up where I could change the % size. It was set to 100% which was huge, so I changed it to 10% and got nice small pictures.
