Understand, that you can upload as many pictures as you like into photobucket. You can copy as many different IMG strings as you like over to the message board thread.

EDITING PICTURE SIZE
Note: This is important if your camera takes big pictures. You don't want to post pictures that are way too big. People with dial up will get bogged down by big pictures when opening a thread.
Before you post the pics make sure they are proper size. Simply click on the picture to look at it first. If it is too large, go to BACK and click the EDIT above the picture button. Under RESIZE PICTURE click the "75% of original" button then click the RESIZE button. Once this is done, click on picture to open it and check out the size. Once they are acceptable, simply copy your Img string over at that point.


prior to uploading shots to "Photobucket" go to your picture files and resize pictures to a max size of 800x600.

when posting images, please Stack images...

as so:

if images are Strung together, the screen is distorted

Hey Funky.... I noticed you have a total of 12 messages on Steve's site..... better empty those :D .... and I was disappointed that you have a pic of Georges car and not mine :(

You can host pictures at www.siihp.com also and you don't have to register. Oh, and it's easy :)
