If you want to upload your pictures somewhere else, first get a picture host, like Photobucket or Imageshack ,

If the pictures are too big, open Paint (to open paint, right click on the image or the shortcut icon, click on open with, then click on paint), click on Image, then click on Stretch/Skew, and reduce both dimensions by the same amount. I usually use 50%, but it depends on how big your picture is, and you can experiment with this a little.

The best size is 800x600 (width X height). If yours is larger, divide 800 by the width of your picture. (Example: my camera takes pictures 2272X1704, so divide 800 by 2272, which gives you 35%.) Enter 35% in both boxes in Stretch/Skew, and your picture should be approximately 800X600. Do not use decimal points when entering the results, just the whole number.

Then upload your pictures to the host.

When you have posted them to the host, copy the IMG location and paste it into your post.

For more information on hosting pictures, check out this thread in the 3G Photo Gallery. If you have any questions, post them there.
