How to post a pic?

[bulldog]

I just received my 1924 snakehead Ajr which has been pro refinished and set-up. Bill Bonanzinga did an unbelievable job on it, and i'd like to show it off to all you folks, but how? thanks.

Press add replay button. Do not do "quick post". At the bottom of where you enter text, there is a button "Browse".
Press that and select your file. Note the max image size to the left. If it does not work <span style='color:red'>read the message given</span>. It tells you exactly what failed.

thanks for the helpful tips. i had to resize my pic to send but that ruined the resolution...need to compress it instead i think...know any good free downloads for doing this? thanks ahead of time!

You should be able to resize any photo adequately enough using the resizing page of my tutorial, which gives links to the free Windows XP add-on:

If you "ruined the resolution", it is most likely because you resized the picture too small, or saved it with too much compression. Remember that JPG compression is inversly calculated as it refers to image quality rather than compression ratio:

90 JPEG Compression is very high quality, very low compression, high file size.
10 JPEG Compression is very low quality, very high compression, small file size.
