Album can't be accessed. Use a photo editing program to change them to no bigger than 800x600 which should work okay and upload them to here as attachments.

free and easy jpg utility that does it all. best feature is the batch conversion. just copy your pics to a folder, open irfanview, hit "b" to open the batch mode. select the files, set the options you want (resizing under advanced options), set the output directory (can be the same with overwrite), hit start and bada-bing!

i normally resize my pics 50% (down to 800x600), sharpen 2, and maybe a little gamma corrections and contrast depending on whether the pics are too bright or too dark.

cant figure it out....i did everything u said. then i hit start, and then add to clipboard. and then i didnt know where to go.

1) Copy the files to a new folder, call it C:\CONVERTED or something like that
2) Start up Irfanview
3) Hit B, which opens the batch conversion window
4) Under "Look in:", navigate to your new folder C:\CONVERTED
5) Click "Add All"". this will select all the files in that folder and move them to the "Input files" area
6) Click the button "Use this directory as output". This will place the converted files in the same folder C:\CONVERTED
7) Select "Batch conversion" under "Work as:"
8) Output format: "JPG - JPG Format"
9) Click the Options button. The only thing to change here is maybe the "Save Quality". Normally 80% is fine. thie higher the better the quality but sometimes it will still be over the 100k file limit for this site. Usually, changing it down to 60-70% is ok and gets the file down under the limit. Change it with the slider then OK to close that window.
10) Check the box "Use Advanced Options". Then click the button "Set Advanced Options" Here is where all your conversion options are set.

Check Resize and set the new size, either a fixed size or a percentage of the original size. I do 50% of the original size. 50% width and 50% height. (You will need to figure out what percentage gets you down to 800x600. This depends on your original photo size).

Check "Preserve Aspect Ratio". This keeps the proportions the same for your photos. Not needed if you do the same % for both height and width but good to have checked anyways.

Under "Other Options", select any that you want to apply. (Leave alone for now)

Under "Miscellaneous", make sure you have "Overwrite existing files" checked. Otherwise it will not write out the newly converted files.

Click OK to close the Advanced Options window.

11) Now click Start and the batch conversion begins.

DONE!
