I may be wrong, but, I believe the picture cannot exceed 78kb. Hopefully, someone who definitely knows will answer your post soon.

If you're looking to just put the picture into your post, what I usually do is upload it to imgur and link to that in my post. It's very simple to do. Imgur is free and after you upload it, it even writes out the code you would use in this forum. So it's a simple copy and paste. No worrying about file size or image size. I even added a pic to this post showing some of the screenshots, using the instructions to do it!  ;D

Is this your photo? Gallery says it is 128.76kB (>128kB) so it bounced in the posting.

If you go to the Gallery and left-click on your photo so it expands, then right-click on it and select "copy image URL", then go to Brag Forum, new topic. In the posting, click on the "image" button (2nd from left button) and past the URL between the img tags. The HTML looks like this (I added the "..." so it shows the text rather than the photo, and set color to RED)

    [...img]http://stevedgood.com/community/gallery/6065_27_01_14_8_52_11.jpeg[/img]

This saves Steve some space by linking to the Gallery image rather than loading another copy.

I just found an easier way to change the picture size.....with the pixsizer program at the top were the pixals are set to 640 I clicked on that box and changed that to 630 and then selected my picture and then it was changed to 123kb and that worked good..................FINALLY!!!!!!!! ;D
