That's OK...Its good for viewing on your desktop being 8000 X 8000 pixels, but the forum will just shrink the viewing dimensions.

I usually use Microsoft image resizer, you just download the one for your operating sytem, Right click on an image or images and one of the choices is "re size picture".

I found that 800 pixels is a good size for forums and emails

Yup, that's the viewing dimentions automatic selection by the forum so that posted pics will not break the borders like it used to on old versions of the forum. (I think??)
When you right click on properties check the number of bytes...17 million bytes about 16 megs

i see. i wasn't aware that pics took up so much memory and took so long to load.

i found a smaller pic that is under the size you recommened for posting. hopefully the others who are on dial up will be able to view the smaller pic.

Spammy, you could have replaced the original pic by using the edit button. You still have more than 5 minutes to do so.

i didn't realize i still had time to edit. i replaced the orginal pic with the smaller pic and removed the secondary pic from the later post.

Thanks so much, Spaminator..............being on dial-up myself I would not have been able to view it.
