Can you elaborate on this in words an illiterate computer user like me will understand ?
I think that preset 800x600 photo size would be big enough for forum viewing and yet pretty lightweight for the forum server , so I will try and aim for that pixel size if I do the resizing .
Thanks Filip - I'll check that out.Quote:

And what size would that equate to, as it would show up in a forum reply box, in inches, say -(e.g. 8 inches X 4 inches.),
or is that not the manner in which to approach it.
Yes Paul it represents width x hight in pixels and it equates about 10 inch width x 8 inch of height.Quote:

Thanks for the info, Filip - I get it now.
if you get out a magnifying glass and look at your computer screen you will see the little rectangles, that is a pixel
the more pixels in your image, the more you can zoom in without it getting blurry (or pix-elated)
most sites make you put a smaller version up of the photo to save them on storage space.
