They look good to me, I use photobucket to upload my pics. I don't like to use attachments.

If you use photobucket it resizes the photo's for you. If you use another method then you have to resize them yourself with Photoshop or some such program.

garage gnome & Carlsjeep,

He is using photobucket. �I saw his posts yesterday where he clicked on the http:// button instead of the [IMG] button. �We were chatting on the phone about another issue and I told Mac that he could post the pic instead of the link by selecting the [IMG]. �So that's what he's done. �Now he's asking me how to size them down a little, like most of the rest of us have done, but I don't remember how I did it years ago. �Talk about the blind leading the blind. �I remember I had the same problem back then and a good soul came to my rescue and coached me on sizing, I just can't do the same for Mac. �Kinda seems like the sizing was done saving the pics into photobucket??? Would someone else please help him out here? �Then we'll both know. �Thanks.

PS: Actually they are no bigger than the pics that come up when he has posted them by using the http://, �and they are still no bigger than that page so it really is acceptable. �But, I would want them smaller, as well. �

PPS: I'm glad you don't have to be computer literate to restore an old Jeep--or do you?

That's odd. When I upload a photo to photobucket the site automatically resizes the photo and when I click on the img button at the bottom of the photo list the photo appears in the thread small enough to fit into the column. This is my sister and I in 1944. Sure wish I still had that car.
