Add the url (web address) for specific pictures to your message. Takes up less room and is easier for folks with dial-up.

After clicking on the "Post New Topic" or "Reply" button and the page loads, look to the left for the Format row of buttons. The button with the mountain on it is the image button.

Type in the URL location of the image on your web page. Next, with your mouse highlight the URL. After the URL is highlighted click on the image button, again its the one in the format row with the mountain.

It would be a good idea to limit the width of the photo to about 600 pixels wide, and keep the image file less than 100 KB, this for those on dial-up. I've posted photos here before, and didn't consider down load speeds and posted large file images. When and if I post photos here again, I'm going to try and limit them to the above out of consideration.

If they are stored somewhere,

right click on top of photo
properties
highlight the url that comes up
copy
paste to reply section in the forum

This creates a link that people can directly go to once. Dialup people then wont have to keep loading the same pic when they review the page.
