Now that photos are mentioned, I do have a thought. I have so many pics I wanna share here but they are too big and I get them kicked back. I would love to be able to put larger pics up. Im no techy so Kev I hope you know what I mean by this.

There's been a few things shown up for photos (including an article in my signature) that help explain how to upload photos, as well as resizing them with a free software program... most people understand it!

Would be nice if we could just "copy & paste" photos, like words, into the format, but theres already so much great stuff on here that I feel its a small thing to ask! (although I think it would require different formatting to do so)

Large photos also take a while to upload- moreso if you are on dialup. I know that some folks have had issues with that.. I know when I use dialup the board is VERY slow to navigate, due to the number of graphics on the various pages. ( Not that that's a bad thing, it's just I can understand why dial up folks would have issues!) I post pics quite frequently, and they usually are around 700kb- I've never had issues unless I use the ultra high setting on my digicam. 1600 x 1200 usually is perfect for anything I photograph...

ditto on the photos. photobucket let you select the size you want to post.

I have to be honest, Im an idiot when it comes to this stuff. I have to get my husband to show me and if I dont get it right away, the poor guy has war waged against him. So I need super easy user friendly stuff. Ill check out Monica's thing and see if I can get it without having a nervous breakdown.

There's a great little free program called "Shrink pic", available at (Linky). It sits in your system tray and doesn't take squat for resources. When you upload or email a photo, it automatically resizes it down to 800x600, 600x400, or a custom size you can specify. Works really well. Spyware free too!

How about an insert button for YouTube and/or others.

Video conferencing via Skype perhaps, where you can "show" your problem/question instead of just talking about it or posting single pictures and of course for chat reasons too.

Oh, I LOVE that idea! Not 'cause I can't do it myself, but 'cause I'm lazy :-).
