Rick, we suggest you use JPEG's and that you set the dpi to 72dpi which is what a computer monitor displays. The recommended size is so that people don't have to scroll side to side or up and down to see the image. You can always post a link to a larger file at a hi dpi stored wherever you save/display your images on line. That way if someone wants to see the giant version they can click the link.

Another very big reason for compressing the file is that there are threads where people display many images - with a bunch of hi meg pictures in the thread it can be slow to load for some of our viewers.

Bob, you can still use the old way of posting images. That is my preference, and using the old way people are still able to see the images even if they are not members or logged into the forums.
