[b][red]Note #4 – [/red][/b] In the New or Reply Post Area, you can click on the link identified in the above photo as Note #4.

[b][red]Note #5 – [/red][/b] Photo Posting Document. By clicking on the link a word .doc file will download to your computer. It attempts to give basic instructions on how to include images in your message post. However, there are some facts you should use to keep the size of the link file s small as possible avoiding long, long download times.
File Type: Make all files jpg or gif – jpg for photographs, images or artwork, and gif for non-photograph images and line art.
Image Resolution: The saved resolution not more then 72 DPI, the internet is optimized at viewing objects at 72 dpi maximum. Any resolution higher is just a waste and makes the posted images large to very large megabytes (file size)
Image Size: Do not use images that are wider then 1024 pixels wide. Any image above that makes it difficult to view in our message board and in all respect unnecessary. Also the larger the image, the larger the file size, resulting in longer download time especially those with Dial-Up modems.
Hummmmmm, This is a really [b][red]BIG[/red][/b] quick note ! ! ! ! ! !

Thanks, Dick.I was not aware of the correction method. This should eliminate second postings just to correct a mistake.
