general answer to this photo problem
open a photo bucket account and put your pictures on that
using their site copy the 'img code' and then paste that into your mesage
that way it reduces the picture size that the forum has too handle by hosting it on an outside server
i find it handy to have 2 pages open at the same time - one with photobucket and the other on the forum and then you can flick between the 2
like so etc......
this way the photo is smaller but if you click on it - it goes bigger
- try it
