Now that's where I get hung up. My knowledge of KB and all the other byte sizes is nil! In my photo program I have a "resize" button I click...and through trial and error, a long time ago, I figured a size that is compatible with this site. I usually take the largest number (example:1260x1045)...and keeping the pic in proportion (the program does it)...I resize the largest number to 500x____(<---whatever it comes out to be). It doesn't say what KB size that is...just that it's 500x____ (whatever). All I know is that they ALWAYS fit whenever I posted that size before...so it confused me when I kept getting the "too big" message.

To be honest...I've never known how to find out the size of anything...and only through this program can I "resize" something to be accepted here. If I right click and keep a pic in "save picture as" and rename it and then open my photo program and retrieve it from there and click my "resize" button in that program...it'll tell me that the pic size is ____x____...and choosing the largest number, be it the width or height, I leave the "keep proportion" button ticked and change the largest number to 500.

Does that make sense? I'll try again this morning, to post the new thread I was trying to post. If you don't see it up...you'll know I still couldn't do it...k?
