I enjoy seeing pictures of various projects and boats. What is required to be able to post pictures if one so desired?

You need to have access to a sever to store the pictures on. The C-25 Forum server does not contain the pictures, just links to them. If you have Web space with your internet service, that's the best place to post them. Most ISP's give you 30 to 60 megs of space with your basic Internet service. You FTP the pictures to a folder in your web space, then in your Forum message you make a link to the picture, using the full URL, within a pair of [IMG:] statements. TIP: size your pictures to 800 x 600 pixels, and store tham as JPEG's at 30% to 50% commpression quality. Pictures with a lot of uniform color like sky might look too grainy and pixelated at 30% quality, for those, use 50%. The file size of your pictures should be no more than 30 to 50 kilobytes

Okay, I got the basic idea. How do you guys get the image in your signature line to come out relatively small?

To get the thumbnail to print you follow the same procedure Don gives, except rather than going to the full picture to get the link, right click on the tumbnail, go to properties, and highlight the storage lin. Insert that in your signiture file.

If you use Shutterfly, copy the address of the picture from the thumbnail page. Another way is to change the third to last number in the Shutterfly address to a "<b>0</b>" (zero).

You add the photo link to your sig in your "profile". I use Photoshop and simply make the image size what ever I want. I have a rather large sig pict right now so I often post without a sig line. Be sure you save @72 dpi, that is the resolution of most monitors and anything higher is pointless.

Randolph:

If you size your picture to no bigger than about 450 wide, more people will enjoy your picture because it will show up entirely on one screen without the need to scroll.
