Ok, hi all i'm new here as you may have guessed. I would really appreciate a little help from those in the know.
I would like to post some pics but....
A. Where should i post them incase they are of not great originality
B. If i insert a image will it be resized accordingly (I don't want to annoy everybody greatly, by having a massive picture stuck in the middle of the page!!)
Anybody feel like pulling me out the deep end....
Many thanks

Welcome to the forum!

Not sure I totally understand your first question...but as for the second one, no, the forum doesn't resize your pictures, you'll have to do that on your own in an editing program. Usually it's best to kept them less than 800 pixels wide (I do mine at 700) in order to view them w/out scrolling.

Just PM a mod or admin if you have any more questions!

Welcome!

a) General Gallery or Snapshots
b) You need to find a host to upload them to. Try signing up (for free) to flikr.com and getting some space to put your pictures into. Make them about 640x480 or 800x600 so everyone can fit them on the screen and they don't take too long to load. Try and post a couple or say five, not thirty on your first go!

Welcome again!
