   One of the confusing aspects of posting a picture in this forum is that there's no feedback while the picture is being loaded.  After you click LOAD, wait patiently until you see a message at the top of the screen indicating that the picture is loaded.  It's a waiting game because there are no indicators.

   You should also resize your pictures before you post them so they can be seen without scrolling all over.  I usually go to 50%.  Finally, use jpg format instead of bmp.  Jpg files are much smaller and therefore load faster.

   Following up on Dave's recommendation to resize pictures, what's really important to us primitive dial-up folks is that the file size not be too big, taking forever to load.  You should easily be able to get down to a file size below 75Kb.  When I get DSL, I'll stop griping about this, LOL!forestgirl -- you can take the girl out of the forest, but you can't take the forest out of the girl ;-)Another proud member of the  "I Rocked With ToolDoc Club" .... :>)

   See forestgirl, size DOES matter - lol.  Get the DSL as soon as you can........I've had DSL for over a year now and can't imagine going back to a dialup.
