Hi briana..

I never could figure it out either , so I just post them the way they are. I don't think they are too big when they show on a thread. I actually prefer them large....I can see more details! Have you tried one on a thread, and then previewed the message?

Looking forward to seeing your pictures! (especially your granite:) Don't keep us waiting too long..

No matter what the original size, you can always change the size it displays in the forum, by modifying the html code you've copied like this:

if the code is:
{{!gwi}}

add this:
{{!gwi}}

You can play around with it, changing the "500px" to any size you want; the largest that folks can comfortably see in their browser is around 800px. (This changes the width AND height proportionally, no need to fiddle with the height at all.)

Click on the photo you want to upload. Let your mouse cursor hover over the photo and a menu will pop up at the top of the photo. Click on "Resize" and select the new size you want.

You can also automatically choose what size you want when you upload to Photobucket by clicking upload to Photobucket and select "Customize your upload options"

In addition to what Jodi explained, you can also resize them on your own computer...it's faster if you have a lot of them. I use "MS Office Picture Manager" that comes with Windows (XP, Vista, 7).

From Programs using "Start" button:
Microsoft Office --> Microsoft Office Tools

And there is also Shrink O'Matic, a free resizing tool.

Here is a link that might be useful: Shrink O'Matic

And if you have a mac, you can just use Preview (tools>adjust size).
