For those who don't now how to make a photo smaller or to determine the size of the photo.
If you are looking at the file folder, go to the top left to "view" then down to "details" and right click on "details". It will show you the size of the photo in KBs. You probably want it to be around 30 KB. You can also right click on the file name and go down to properties and left click. If it is too big, right click on the thumbnail or the file name, scroll down to "open with" then slide over to "paint" and left click. If the photo just takes up about an eighth of the page in the top left corner you are probably good. If not, go to the top left, click on "image" then on "stretch-skew" Change the horizontal to 25 (%) And the verticle to 25 (%) If it is still not small enough, do it again (stretch/Skew) You can then save the picture in "file" at top left "save as".

I noticed my attachments were HUGE. But in trial they were chopped down in size when they got to the Yahoo site, so I assumed that Yahoo was trimming them down. Now that I know that, I will not send them full siae any longer. I agree, that attachments are the way to email photos to the forum. -- In [email protected], "Ed Burkhead" <e...@...> wrote: > > > Don just sent us an e-mail with a photo that makes a couple of points: > > 1.
