It’s a loose site, SPAM will be a small problem. I set up a specific Email address on Yahoo for dealing with such sites. I still get the SPAM, but the majority of it is not on my daily Email address. (That gets SPAM too simply because it’s on the net)

800×600 pixels is a good ish photo size for forums ideally JPEGs, which are usually a good compressed format.

Hi,
personally I put my pictures on Photobucket and then Copy/paste the IMG code straight into my post.

To get them into a suitable web format I use “Save for web” in Photoshop CS2, and I make sure the longest side of the picture (Of which 99% of mine are landscape) is 500 pixels wide. This enables the viewer to see it on the screen without side-scrolling, which is most annoying. I also make sure my file size is about 50k, this ensures rapid screen loading and also gives good enough quality for screen viewing but not good enough for somebody to download and print for profit.
A lot of people on this forum put some outstandingly good photo’s on, and at a very high quality. You and I benefit from this by seeing their work in its magnificence, but others will down it and sell. That’s life on the net I’m afraid.
