Assuming you're using Windows, download and install PowerToys from the Microsoft website.  In XP, at least, it adds an easy-to-use resizer to the right-click menu.  You can resize them to small (640x480) or medium (800x600) and then post them.

The other alternative (and better, really) is to upload them onto a photo-hosting site like Photobucket and then use the built in image commands that Photobucket provides under each thumbnail to link to them in a message.  When you link to it, Photobucket automatically resizes it for you.

:iagree:  ...easier in the long run.... I set my photobucket account to re size my uploads to 17" screen then it's just a matter of copying the link & pasting here

Use photo bucket.  :2thumbs:

It's free, easy, and it doesn't take up space on the boards server. And, your pictures will never be deleted.
