Title: Help with Pic footprint size!!!
Post by: MassScoot on September 10, 2012, 01:00:53 PM: Hi All: I'm trying to post some pics of my new Kymco GT300i scooter. The smallest I can do thru MS "Live Photo Gallery" is 640x480 & that equals 254KB. I think this forum needs like 172KB or less!

Any insight to help me out?

yea all you need to do is make an account on Photobucket.com (http://Photobucket.com) upload your pics there then you can direct link to this forum without having to worry about picture size.

when i tried compressing and resizing pics it wasnt taking the size down enough and after compressing and resizing there wasnt much of a picture left to look at lol....photobucket is less hassle anyway.

You should be able to make good pics small with paint.net. I took this 8mb image down to 150kb and it is still clear.

Thanks again all!
