Images should be in the 600 to 800 pixel range. The forum automaticly places a smaller image on the page. As has been said, the image has to be wider than it is tall for the click to enlarge to work. I save all my photos for here as 72 dpi, 600 pixels wide images as JPGs and set the quality at 3 (low) in photoshop. That seems to work well.

If you are using shutterfly.com, you can click on the thumbnail image, and when it becomes larger, go to propeties on that photo and copy and paste the URL here.

Your original image needs to be larger, say 750 pixels wide. If an image is wider than the message window, it can be enlarged.
