Guest Simon* Report post Posted August 30, 2009 (edited) Due to bandwidth limitations and more importantly for ease of viewing photos in the forum I have put up this thread to help members with resizing and posting images. The following links are very handy little tools (especially the first one) which once installed allow you to resize batches of images simply by highlighting the files and right clicking -> "Resize pictures" and picking one of the available sizes. Microsoft WinXP Image resizer tool Third party right-click resizer for Win XP 32, 64 bit, Vista, Win 7 MS Image resizer clone for Vista and non-XP OS PixResizer - does batch resizing also Secondly, for those who are not used to, or keen on using a photosharing host like imageshack, photobucket, flickr, picasa or the like, Bimmersport does have a gallery facility which allows you to do exactly the same thing. There is a link to the Gallery at the top of each page, or even easier is the "My Albums" link.

Guest Simon* Report post Posted September 7, 2009 I'm bumping this because there are still some ridiculously large photos being posted. If all else fails, open the things in MS Paint in: Start -> Accessories and hit "CTRL W" to play with the image size C'mon people it's not that hard. I don't want to pan all over the show to see them. 1024 x 768 px is probably big enough for the forum Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
