See if that helps you. A great article written by one of our own on how to post pictures to the site

Same rules basically. The pic size has to be less then 100kb or it isn't going to upload.
I am not concerned about what you think as I can tell you don't do it often.
I used to be a people person, but then people ruined that for me.

Sorry, I misunderstood. But what Neal said. Probably too large of a file size

Safe the picture to .jpeg to your computer and then edit the size down to under 100kb and you should be fine. I just use paint in windows to do it.
You should hurry up and acquire the cigar habit. It's one of the major happiness's. And so much more lasting than love, so much less costly in emotional wear and tear.
Aldous Huxley
Maybe it's like becoming one with the cigar. You lose yourself in it; everything fades away: your worries, your problems, your thoughts. They fade into the smoke, and the cigar and you are at peace.

Yes what John said, open it up in paint and resave as a jpeg. It always shrinks the size under 100kb for me.

I use FastStone Photo Resizer, works great. Thought for sure I read about it in one of the how-to's here.

Even the Microsoft office photo viewer can compress. I normally use that one if on my laptop.
I'll do what I will and I'll drink what I please
I'll smoke what I like 'till I cough and I wheeze
I'll drink and I'll whore and every pleasure realize

Jason, there is another way to do it. Send me the cigars, I'll take pictures and submit them for you. I can even smoke and review them afterwards, no worries
