When you are making a post, look down under the block you are typing in.  You should see an "Add an Attachment" section.  Put your cursor in the "Filename" block, click on "Browse..." and find the file you want to post on your hard drive.  If you want, you can type a comment about the file in the block below the filename.  If you want to add another picture, click "Add Attachment" and wait for the screen to refresh.

You can attach gif, jpeg, jpg, png, tga or tiff images up to 5 MB . . . and I think there is a 800 X 600 pixel size limit . . . or maybe it's 640 X 480.  If you have a problem, just post what you're trying to do and we'll help you out.

By the way, Karmanns Dad, are the same Karmann's Dad that used to be in the club?  If so, we've missed you!  Where have you been?  Come hang out with us again!  If you're not who I think you are . . . sorry . . . but you can still come hang out with us!   8)

Do you MicroSoft Photo Editor (it comes with MicroSoft Office) . . . if you do, open the picture with Photo Editor, click on Image, then Resize . . . it's pretty easy to figure out from there.  If you want to keep your original picture without lowering the resolution, don't click "Save," click "Save As" instead and give it a new name.  Lots of other graphics programs will alow you to resize photos as well . . . I use Photo Editor 'cause it's real easy to use.

If all else fails, you can email them to me (zenph@comcast.net) and I'll resize them for you.
