I am trying to upload a image. It is 4.3mb. But when I attempt the upload the image I get a page that says Page can not be displayed, or something like that. Can the admin. & mods. or someone assist me in doing this?

Thank you.

My advice -- don't upload a 4.3mb picture. Bring it into Photoshop, Photoedit, or some other image editor, and reduce its size to something more manageable (640x480 pixels is perfectly adequate). Also make sure you save it in JPEG format (.jpg), which will compress it. There's no reason an image posted to a web page needs to be more than about 100k in size.

Once you get the image to a proper size, it needs to be hosted on a web server somewhere for you to link to it here. Yahoo, Google and others offer free services for hosting images. Try http://photos.yahoo.com for information.

Thank you for the advice. I figured out how to resize it & was able to upload it. Please cast your vote if you would. Again thank you.
