Download a program called irfanview, it's free. In the 'image' menu you can resize/resample...

If you upload your pictures to Photoshop (or similar), its the "IMG thumb" link that you post on to the forum, which shows a thumbnail in your post which when you click on it opens the picture up in photobucket. Please don't paste actual photographs into your posts they are quite memory hungry.

1) Go to http://www.imgur.com/
2) Drag and drop the image into the browser screen
3) Click on the 'start upload' button
4) When that is complete, next to 'Sizes' Click on 'Small Square'.
5) You will see some BBCODE under 'Linked BBCode (message boards)'. Copy and paste that to your message on the forum here.

Done.
