It will place your URL in between IMG tags to make the picture show.

OK that works but the image is freaking huge, so do I have to down size the image somehow?????? when I up load should I use a different default load size???? HELP





YES!!!!!!! I got it Thanks for your help Chris!!!!

My Spring Time shave All limes and such!!!

Haha, yeah I believe the image would need to be sized down/compressed before uploading it. Most of the photo programs (like Microsoft Picture Manager or whatever it is) allow you to compress to Website or Email sizes. You might try that.

I've been using a Mac for quite some time now, so I have a hard time remembering the processes on the PC. On the Mac, I can just compress to email.

Also, I'm not sure if Photobucket has this option, but sites like ImageShack allow to compress for website use as you're uploading. You might try that.

You can get around the lack of image size control on our forum by simply resizing the photo before you upload it to your image host. Windows users can do a quick and dirty resize of their photos in MS Paint

I assume Glen is talking about the oversized appearance of the photo rather than the number of bytes used. I haven't heard of compression being used to describe the resizing of a photo, but rather the reduction of the amount of memory capacity required to host it. This forum used to compress the apparent size of the photo for attachments though, so maybe I am wrong!

Wow! The GFT Sandalwood Skin Food was just amazing! Great scent, perfect pre-shave! The GFT Rose Shaving Cream smells just wonderful, a floral orgasm! I'll have to find these to order, it's a given tuplet! My first shave with the "Rover", I LOVE this brush! Perfect size and knot! Thanks to Bronco for this opportunity! The Wapi was freshly honed and 50 laps on a .5 micron strop and 50 laps on leather... yummy!

And the homebrewed beer is great! I expect a headache tomorrow!
