OK... let's try again and see if we can sort this out.
What software are you using to edit the photo?
Have a look at one of the photos you want to post...
how big is the file size? How many kb?
and what are its physical dimensions..
eg. fff pixels by kkk.
Once we know that we can then progress.

Try this;
Open it in Irfanview
Click on "image" then "resize/resample"
Set it to 640x480 pixels on right hand side of the window that appears
Click "file"
Click "save as"
Give it a new name
Try attaching the new pic.

Just an additional comment to what Jon has suggested...
In the "Resize/Resample" box, make sure that you have ticked the "Preserve aspect ration" box.
You may find the 800 x 600 just a little large for these forums... probably Ok but you may want them a little smaller.
If you do...
In the "Resize/Resample" box simply go to set new size....
and then set the width to what you want... 700 perhaps.
With the "preserve aspect ratio" ticked, the height will automatically reset in proportion.
Hope that makes sense.
If the image is still too large then you can "save as"... as Jon suggests but before you then "Save" you can go to the "Options" and select the level of quality you require...
lower quality, smaller file size.
I guess that's as clear as mud

You are saving the picture as a .jpg? Aren't you?

The go to the slider I have marked with the arrow...
see below.
Sliding this to the left will reduce the file size but also the quality.
So you probably need to do a test on what is a reasonable quality versus the overall file size.
So go through the stuff Whatton posted.... select 800 x 600.
Then go go to "save As".
Then go to "Options...
then play with the slider....
If that doesn't work I'm probably out of ideas.

Re: tester
Now you can play around with the slider for quality... this picture is only 29k so you can probably afford to move the slider to the right a bit and improve the quality.
A case of suck it see
