Hi tomh - there is a file size limitation on the forum. You could upload to the picture gallery (free for fishlore members) where the file size limitation is much larger per file and then post a link on the forum to your gallery.
OR
If you don't have photo editing software to make your picture file sizes smaller, there is a free program called "Paint.Net" - download here: http://www.getpaint.net/index2.html
To make images smaller using Paint.Net:
1. Open the picture in Paint.Net
2. On the menu, go to Image > Resize
3. In the pixels area, change it to be anything less than 800 pixels wide. Most digital cameras take monstrously large photos and resizing the image will decrease the file size significantly. Anything over 800 pixels will create the horizontal scroll bar to appear when you post the image. It may even be less than that to cause the scroll bar - trying for around 400 - 500 pixels would prolly be better.
4. Click File > Save As and then click the save button which will load the window asking you what quality to save it at. It has a slider bar that shows you a preview of the image at various quality/file size levels.
Cool program 8)
I'm going to make this a sticky topic on the photos board too.

do you mean you want a picture in the post with text after it instead of typing the post and then attaching the photo with the attach option under "additional options"?
