Open up a photobucket account and save the pics there. You just have to download pics one time and they are done. You can also open and name different folders in photobucket, which makes it easier to find picks later when you have several thousand. Anyway, photobucket will automatically resize them. When you start a new topic or post a message, open the photobucket in a different browser and you can just copy the IMG code (bottom of the list) from photobucket and paste it directly into the post. I do not use the additional options or the insert image link ( second from the left). Copy and paste works much faster. When you are dsone with copy and paste, click Preview and make sure the pics took and then post it. As long as you leave the pics in the original photobucket file, they will always be on your post. If you move them to a different file later, red X's will appear on the old post.
