question about uploading photos - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

I see many of the forum members add a photo of their car when they respond to a thread. Can someone give me directions on how to this is done.

I did try to add an attachment but it said the upload was too large (it was only a 1.5 meg photo).

Thanks
Eric

1.5 megs is huge. It should be about 50K (at most) which is 30 times smaller. Download this program and shrink the file size: http://www.irfanview.com/

okay, so I see you guys have pics in your signature, how is this done?
I wouldn't want it this big, but I can resize with a program in my puter, but I haven't figured out how to attach an image in the siganture section of control panel.
