Some recent postings in the picture gallery include pictures which are small, and if you click on them the pictures do not return a larger size. I am going to add the following to the "how to post pictures" tip in this forum.

Picture resizing:
When you resize the pictures, you'll be using a photo utility. There must be at least 20 of them. The general process you will use to resize your picture follows. The objective is to post a photo with a size around 540 x 680 which is within the 80kb maximum picture size.

1) One option in each utility is to select the pixel height and width. Select something around 500 x 640. It doesn't have to be exact. Now do a save on the picture and determine if it is less than 80kb. If not then you have to do this step and step 2.

2) If the disksize is still more than 80kb, do step 1 AND find an option to compress the image. Typically this is labeled as "compression" or "compression level" or something similar. Try different compression values until you obtain a picture less than 80kb.

If this doesn't make sense, please post the question to the forum. There are other people with your utility who have done this before. It is likely that the public answer in the forum will also help more than one person!
