Hey,

It might depend on what image host you are using. Remember this site has a size limit though. But, www.photobucket.com www.imageshack.com seem to work. 1st one can host nice big pics. 2nd link hosts a thumb on the thread post that links to a larger pic. Hope it helps.

The limit on each image at AF is 80K, which is actually very large. Resize using a photoshop type program and, Bingo! I usually do mine 500 pixels wide and they are between 20 and 40kb.

The image is not hosted by the AF server.

Besides the physical size of an image (X pixels times Y pixels), you can choose the compression ratio of many digital imaging formats.
For example, the jpeg format allows you to chose it arbitrary, and higher the compression, smaller the file size, poorer the quality.
You experiment on your own and decide what ratio is right for you.
Try some of the free programs like IrfanView and reduce the file size to less than 80k.
