Slowly working on a FAQ that includes most of the newbie questions. I'm spending about 10 hrs at school a day so its going rather slowly with HW and all.

And nightstepper, It isn't really your fault as Photopost is not linked from the forum pages anywhere. I've been complaining about the site design for what seems like ages. The only place you could pick up where it is is from someone's signature (like freds) or from a similar thread to this one.

Another pic host site is http://www.theforumisdown.com and http://www.eniety.com/pichost but for images of your car and nissans etc. Photpost is definately preferred.

Quick tip: Don't try and attach bitmap files (.bmp). They are uncompressed and can be rather large. I'm just assuming the "too large" error means filesize, since I've never tried to post a picture up here. My suggestion, if it is a bitmap, would be to convert it to jpeg or gif and then upload it. You can convert the file by just opening it in IE and right clicking on it, then doing "Save as" and on the botton, under file type, selecting .jpg instead of .bmp.

If the "too large" means resolution, you'd have to size it down some with a photo program. Hope this helps..

too large probaly deals with the fact that the size limit is 300x300
