Silver Max,
That looks nice but the picture is large as you can see. The large pictures take up a lot of band width. Here is a some information I have pulled from other members. I hope this helps.
This link addresses picture sizes. Max size is recommended at 640 x 480.
http://montanaadministrator.forumco....C_ID~10654.asp


Please ignore the first part below since you know how to post the picture. I left it in so others that may have questions could read it.

Adding a picture is so very easy.

First of all you must have the picture you want to use in your computer. If you already have one in your computer and know where it is continue....

Go to tinypic.com/

Click on "Browse" and find the picture you want to use and Click on it

Than click on "Host It"

A new screen will open and your picture is now online.

Toward the bottom of the window you will be given 4 locations..
Link
Tag
Img [ IMG]http://tinypic.com/*****[ /IMG]
Url

The IMG is the tag you will want to copy.

and than Paste this tag into your Profile Signature box

Click on the "Submit" button and

VOILA there you are.


There have been a couple of questions about how to use Irfanview to reduce both the viewed size and the file size. For those who don't want to ask, hopefully the following will help. Don't hesitate to ask questions when help is needed. That's how we all learn.

-----
Irfanview -- This is not as difficult as it appears.

1. open picture in irfanview (file/open).
2. Image / Resize/Resample
here's the settings on mine - just need to set these the first time
- check Resample (better quality)
- Lanczos Filter (slowest) -- it's not really slow
- Preserve aspect ratio

3. Either select one of the standard sizes on the right
or
Select Set New Size. If you do this one, then set the following
- 72 dpi (use 72 or 96 for viewing on a screen or 300 for printing)
- Units:Pixels
- put in either the width or the height you want. The other will fill in automatically (to preserve the aspect ratio).
4. Click OK and it should resize it for you.
5. File/Save As
- JPG-JPEG Files in the Save As Type box
- on the box on the right (JPEG - GIF Save Options) select the quality level you want. The higher the number the larger the filesize and longer to load on a slow connection. 30% sometimes looks ok. 50% usually looks good. If not, bump this up about 5% at a time until you are satisfied with the result. Rarely will you need to go above 65% to 75%. You'll want to give the picture a unique name then click the Save button so you can go open it and see how it looks. You can then come back and save with different quality amount if you want. I tend to use names that tell me the settings I used. For example, if the picture was originally named "picture.jpg" then my first resize attempt I might name "picture-640-30.jpg", which tells me I resized it to width 640 and 30% quality.


Hope this helps and good luck.
RBS

Feel free to use it where ever.

Oh yeah, WELCOME to MOC Family

You have to insert the url link in your signature block. I do not see any text showing up other than your name. Advising in the blind I think you know this but will repeat in case you missed a little thing. You have color and italic so you know some of Forumco code.
{IMG]http://tinypic.com/dn47zb.jpg[/IMG} this is a made up link.
This is the way it should look. To show it I did have to replace the leading and trailing square bracket with the shift brackets. Your picture has to be on a web link. As I indicated a lot of people use tinypic. I hope this helps.
If not please describe what your doing and I will try to help some more.
You can use the Preview Reply button to test and see if your entry works.
Good luck.

Thanks for the help with the pic Glen. I was afraid it was too big. I will try to resize it. Also thank you very much for welcoming us to the MOC family.

Thanks Steve. I knew it was something simple.
Is my little donkey Mary still walking the streets in Silver City?
