Here is the method I use to quickly resize pictures for posting when I do not have access to photo editing software. There are several ways to do it but I find that this is one of the easiest.
A big advantage to doing this to post photos is that they do not take up space on the sonexbuilders.net server. They are hosted by another free image hosting website. I'm not trying to endorse one specific site, but I use it and am familiar so here is a quick tutorial for posting images.
1. Go to
http://imageshack.us/2. Upload your file at 800 x 600, 640 x 480, or 320 x 240. 800 x 600 is the default resize. 640 x 480 is probably the best size for posting.
3. It will then give you several links that can be used for copying and pasting.
4. Copy the text in the box beside of "Forum Code" and paste it in your post.
5. This is the code that will be pasted:
- Code: Select all
