click this link or click the trophy room on the nav bar.

http://www.hunttalk.com/forums/gallery/
then click
Public gallery
click upload from that nav bar

it will automatically resize your pic,

then you can click under your name what says My Gallery or you can do a right click on the pic and grab the url under properties and paste it in the thread.

I thought I had the automatic link thing working but do see it I will try to re enable it right now, need 10 mins

Can you make these instructions a sticky so they're easy to find?

resizing pictures

You have a program called "PAINT" on your computer already.

RESIZING Pictures

Download your picture from your camera to your computer and save them in a folder, where you know where they are. Best place is in "My Documents", and inside the "My Pictures" folder.
Go to your picture folder on your PC where the picture/pictures are stored.
Right click on the picture, then
(left click) on Open with "Paint"
Then, up top in the toolbar:
left Click on "Image"
left Click on "stretch/skew"
When the box comes up, change your height and width from 100% to 40% or 50% and then "left click" on "OK".

Let's say you chose 50%, and the picture isn't quite small enough yet.
You need to first undo, what you just did by clicking on "EDIT" and then "UNDO"

Then you can go back to "STRETCH/SKEW" and try maybe 40% or 30%.

................

If you want to keep one picture of the original size for future developing and one of the downsized for the web, click "Save as"... then re-name your picture and choose save as .jpg and designate which folder you want to save it in so you know where it is.

When naming pictures, don't leave spaces between words or numbers.
example: moosieNov2006

It's that easy

I like to keep these instructions near the top. Wish they were a sticky.
