I want to post some update pics but they are 2.15 MB. So they are too big to post does anyone no how I can get past this?
Reduce them in size dramatically.
Yeah... the resolution of those pics must be huge. I resize most the pics I post from about 800KB down to about 80KB and they are still plenty big. Unless your posting a panoramic view of the entire skyline of New York or something, you can probably stand to shrink the pics down to around 20-50% of their original size.
This can be done in with any image editing software, MSPaint for example, just load the picture, go to Image -> Stretch/Skew, and set the size to 30% or something.
If you sign up with a free photo hosting service such as Flickr.com, the uploading tool will ask you if you want to resize the picture. You can then provide a link to the picture when you post. That also allows you to post multible pictures, but thats a little more complicated.
There are also programs you can buy, or maybe freeware, to do that right on your computer. I have a program that came with my Hp scanner but I don't think its' available anymore. Hemera NetGraphics Optimizer for HP
Hope this helps.

Upload your images there, and then direct link them through this code in your post:
Then they appear as part of your post and it's easier to sort and comment on them if you have many. This is what I do anyway.
P.S. It's all in the FAQ ;)
That code thoguht I was posting an image, oops :P
< img src = "http://www.myisp.com/mywebsite/myphoto.jpg" >
The only real spaces are those between the img and the src.
I have the same size limit as MLHH on that.
A guy has to have SOME limit on something like that, and I've tried to keep it above what are common sizes out of cameras.
The page was made for back when MLHH did not have resizing at all. It's now sort of pointless since MLHH now shrinks photos when uploaded. My resizer also makes photos 400 pixels wide, while MLHH now makes them 600 pixels wide. I had the narrower width because MLHH did not get as much bandwidth back then.
I should play with the resizer. I could add stuff to it that isn't there, and taking bigger files could be one addition.

I meant to reply to Ken's message about using my web page www.choisser.com/resize/

Like the others said the best is to sign for free albums online.
http://www.photobucket.com/ is my suggestion, the other guys enlisted more than necessary ;)
