Use something like imgur to edit the size of the photo, then just post the image links.

I use Microsoft Paint to resize and crop my pictures. I use the "safe as" command to give this picture a new name. This way I keep the original and the resized one.

What kind of "safe" names does it suggest? Puppy? Sunshine? :lol:
