I'm gald that it's not just me, as it seems there are a number of other people who have difficulty getting pictures posted. even my computer literate children say that it's quite a bit more difficult than other sites. Is there an easier way to do this?

After you have uploaded your picture(s) to a photo hosting site, (photobucket, for example), just copy the IMG code line (red arrow) and paste it into the body of your message. Pic should be sized to about 640x480 for message boards.

When you set up a photobucket account, I think you can choose your upload size. I think some photo editing software allows you to do it. There are some online pic resizers too. Windows XP had a picture resizer, but Windows 7 doesn't seem to.

Bruce, I just looked at my account. After logging in, go to Account Settings>Album Settings>View Upload Options. You can set your upload size from there.
