Why are pics so hard to load?

[Done Swimmin]

Hi All

I have noticed that a lot of sellers do not post pics and note that they tried but could not. I have never done it but is there a common problem or is it a bunch of possible issues?

just wondering.

Probably the pics are to big and need to be resized. I use "Paint" to downsize my pics now and have no issues loading them up anymore.

EZ< get picasa (by google, free) or some other hosting site (snapfish, photobucket, etc) and upload to that site. Now you need to go to that site and find your pic and click on it so its full screen on your PC. Look at the URL (address) and itll look something like this: http://www.picasa.com/pishta/mopar.jpg (its not a link, just look at the syntax) copy the URL (highlight it and right click , copy) then in your post, you can add this HTML tag (dont do hyphens and no spaces) ---

--[ img ] [ /img ]-- now you told the board to look for an image at that location (whatever address was between the

tags. You can link all kinds pics in this manner but they have to be hosted somewhere, not your hard drive.

If on a Windows XP computer, get the free resizer they have in the power toys section. Works really well. Has a series of default sizes, I use the 640x480 IIRC and it saves the same name with a "(small)" added to the file name.

Then you can use the manage attachments deal on this site.

I use Photobucket most of the time for linking picks in here.
