OK. If you clck your pic there should be opened an image browser to display the picture. There should be a bar ( bars ) and here you have to look for the info and options for resizing. Also for the name of the program. If ther eisn't the proper info or option I suggest using the IrfanView pic browser that is the free soft with many many useful options for working with images.

This will be a test I may have been too impatient and not allowed the photo to completely load. This time I choose thumbnail

It is not the thumbnail displayed with the option. A such displaying you can get if you just uploaded your pic only to a post. I resized the pic down and attached here as the thumbnail. Can you see the difference? A such way of attaching results in openning and running the forum pic browser when you click the thumbnail.

BTW attaching as the thumbnial and even as the full pic doesn't change anything at all. The picture is still large but just adjusted to our screens only. The file is still large, in the case 5.9MB But being resized down to 1600 pixels in the pic width it is 264KB only..

I see the difference when I click on pic. It loads instantly. I'll have to explore more as I learn best by monkey see monkey do. That's why I don't have a degree. The "read the next three chapters, there will be a quiz on it tomorrow" didn't work well with me.

Throw some more Pics in there my son is still learning his new high dollar camera he bought in Japan and about 1/2 of his pics were blurry due to lighting issues and hand movement.I had him go manual setting while at the NAS Museum today and he had better success.

Tell him not to lean over the rails as I did and to ALWAYS keep the neck strap on. When my last daughter took photojournalism in college, the instructor asked how she knew to put the strap on before she picked up the camera. She said my dad taught me. They do listen.

If I send any more photos before I learn to downsize, Wurger will have to make adjustments and he has other things to do besides watch me.

Funny story about WWII museums, my daughter lives near San Marcos (TX) and while visiting her she said she found a WWII museum in Fredericksburg. So we all piled in the car and drove about an hour or so to Fredericksburg and pulled up to a small storefront. We went in and they had books, caps, tshirts etc but we were obviously disappointed because the ad showed much more. We milled around for a few minutes and were about to walk out then the clerk asked if we wanted tickets to the museum. We said yes, where is the museum?
Well it was an entire city block (about half under roof) and by far one of the best WWII museums we had ever attended. If you are ever near Fredericksburg by all means go. The connection to WWII is Admiral Chester Nimitz was from Fredericksburg and they really did him proud.
Great WWII museum.

May be on my computer at home. Big building kind of a maze inside that takes you through the PTO in chronological order, has a Wildcat and a B-25 (not flyable), a Japanese midget submarine, all kinds of guns and cannon, outside more equipment and a nice circular wall of plaques, photos, busts, etc. Modest admission, you'll easily blow 3 hours. Wife, daughter and I all had a great time. And the barbecue down around there is fantastic.
