How do I post pictures with my reports?  ??? Not that I catch any hogs to show off, but it does make the post a little more exciting. Someone please let me know!!

When you create a post, below the text box is the words "Additional Options..." click on that and you will see an Attach: bar...then what I do is select browse to go to the location of the picture, but as the directions indicate convert to one of the acceptable file types and keep the size below 75KB...most cameras create a file larger than this but if you use your computer software and do a save as most software will give you the option of saving it as "best for web"..this reduces the size of image and makes it postable. 

This is one way there are others like creating a shutterfly album or going to photodump and posting from those...lots of options...hope this helps!

You'll find some help information under the other board on this section - Questions & Support - such as this topic (pretty much what blakstr1 said, plus a little more): http://www.greatlakesbass.com/forum/index.php?topic=138.0

I may be considering storage space on this site for active members because of some changes in my account with my host. It will take a bit for me to figure out how I might do it, but it's a possibility (although now that I can bass fish... I may be busy for a while... thank goodness for winters - saves my marriage too). Now if I could only figure out how to keep my day job from interfering with the important things...

When you figure that out DJ, please post your findings so the rest of us can benefit!!!!!!!!!

I've already got the image saved on my computer and its over 1600 kbs. Is there a way I can downsize it to make it fit? When I broght the pic from my camera it did not give me that option. I have a very nice camera and assume the computer or camer has that option? I guess I'm completely illiterate in this regard. If you know how to help me, please do.

if you open the pic on your computer then choose to Edit the pic...you should be able to do a (save as) at this point and reduce the pic size....depending on the setup I've had to do this 3 or 4 times to get it to reduce down as far as I needed, you can also crop it to reduce the actual picture size a bit if possible.
