Off-Roaders as you know we can now upload pictures from our computers but the deal is they need to be limited to 600 X 800 . When making the size to fit STF, you will have to do it before loading or otherwise it will show as a link. One of the most important reasons is now we are paying for storage space, we have 10 gig, that is 10 gig spread throughout STF not just the OF forum. So lets limit the size of the pics otherwise we will have to pay for extra space.
Below David58 has a tutorial on posting pics. Any questions, you need any help ask we are all here to help.

Its free and all you have to do is load image into IRFANVIEW, select "Image" in tool bar, slide down and select "Resize/Resample" and punch in the numbers for re-size or select proper "size" from predetermined sizes.....
A small correction. Pics cannot be bigger than 600x800 if they are to show in the post. 640 pixels wide will display as a link. This is to insure that pics will appear on screen without scrolling across and to conserve storage space.

Guys read through this on posting pics if you are having problems and PLEASE make sure your pics are resized for the forum something around 600x800 works, you get much bigger and a lot of people will have to scroll side to side to see the whold pic, gets to be a PITFA.

Does posting pictures from photobucket take up space on your server?
I've been building my how to thread (Here, and all of a sudden it doesn't like my pictures, even the ones that are already on there.
I was going to put a disclaimer in there "if this helped you please donate", cause I know it takes up some space, but I was hoping that using photobucket relieved some of the pressure off your server.
Any advice?

doesn't really use bandwidth but the image size is a concern. larger images that have not been re sized tend to scroll off screen and break the layout of the site. Doc and Leather have touched on this in the beginning of this thread I changed the image settings for the board to limit the size of images being posted to 800px wide by 800px tall will work for portrait or landscape.(thanks ts39136)
I fully approve of limiting the image size to avoid side scrolling. 800 is a touch small but I am not complaining. however is it possible to have the board scale images that are linked from OUTSIDE hosting sites, so say I link to a 1028x999 image (its a metric camera), the board will display it as a 800x whatever. ? I have seen some links online saying phpbb seems to support this, but this is outside my real understanding.
