Bob,

I know just enough to be dangerous on this site. Maybe Paul Mossberg or another member can tell you how to shrink your picture posts. I ran into the same thing and FrankieD shrunk them for me a few years ago. I’ve not posted many pics since.

I would at least try to edit your previous posts.

Great observation Larry…I guess we’re all a bunch of nearsighted, computer illiterate old men with cool kit cars

I guess FrankieD is the guy that may be able to explain this to us? We are probably missing a button (icon) that allows us to shrink pictures before we post them. They seem to be causing the wide format posts. I don’t recall any wide posts w/o pictures in them.

 In the meantime, reading “wide” posts will require Dramamine!

I would suspect that resizing the pics we post BEFORE they are posted solves the “wide” problem.

 James,  I noticed that even when a photo is BIG in a post it comes out at a workable size in the photo gallery. I think that some threads that start out at the correct size expand to the wide size as soon as someone puts in a photo.I think Paul told in a post a while back how to shrink pictures for this site with out shrinking them in our personal files but I was too computer dumb to do it [probably still am] , this technology is great except I am so far behind that I may never catch up. He may have been talking mb not inches ,perhaps he will give us the info again.

I had mentioned this to a friend who passed along his solution that works on most sites and many different situations.

Join Flickr, (it’s part of Yahoo),  its free, it’s very easy to use and lets me download or upload different sizes of my photos without having to change any thing.  Once you upload your picture (any size) to the sight you can open Flickr and when you click on your photo it will give you 4 different sizes to choose from.  You can then simply download the re-sized picture to your desktop, or use they link they give to that particular size photo to place into your message. The small or medium size seem to work best for me on most web sites and emails. It’s easier than it sounds and now I use it for all kinds of photo projects. I don’t know if Photobucket is the same, but I know I won’t go back to the old way of re-sizing my photos with photoshop.

 Paul,  I went to the photo gallery, pulled up my photos, waited till they appeared and then clicked on ”delete photos” ,a window opened in the top left corner of the screen and in a small rectangle in the window it said that I did not have any photos. What did I miss or do wrong? I was looking at about a dozen photos in the gallery that it said I did not have. Thanks for your help.
