The big problem with my uploaded shots was the size. I forgot to resize them to 800x600. Thats done now.. hope it works better.


There's quite a bit of difference if you have "Dial-UP" ( as I mentioned in other post ), It may take 5 minutes to load one GIF Image pic of 237,000 bytes at 800 x 600 resolution while 2 sec using high speed Internet. Your pic at 237,004 bytes 800 x 600 useing GIF Image below:




And my copy changed to JPEG at 800 x 600 resolution and only 36,253 bytes.



Compare the pics. the JPEG the "Dial-Up" person will choose, the GIF Image He/She will probably not. Also it saves space here on the forum. Neal pays enough now.
Its just another couple seconds and a few more buttons to change the pics to JPG and upload. Use Paint if nothing else on your computer, it works just fine.
