Help sending pictures

[Will Truitt]

To my more experienced brethren (and sistren?) on the forum:

 

I've been trying to send pictures of my hammer tapering jig to the forum for
the past 2 days, but without success.  I have had no problem composing my
text and placing my 3 pictures into the message.   I took the pictures in
VGA, the lowest setting on my Sony digital camera.  Picassa 3, the image
editing freeware program, tells me each of these images is 133KB.  The first
time I tried to send the message it bounced back from my server.  I surmised
that perhaps it was too large, so I broke it up into two messages, one with
two pictures and the other with one.  So the larger should have been 266 KB
plus whatever the small amount of text that accompanied it should add (I
would guess it shouldn't be over 300 KB).  The second message would be 133
KB plus  text - 150 to 175 KB max.  However, when I looked at these messages
from my Sent Items folder in MS Outlook 2007, it tells me that the larger
message  is 1 MB, and the smaller 478 KB.  I sent these messages twice and
they simply disappeared into the ether, no rejection notice from the Forum
server, no show on the Forum either.  Just nothing.  

 

Are my two messages still too large for the PTG forum server?  

 

I would be grateful for any and all suggestions from those who have some
experience posting pictures to the forum as to how to go about this.  Should
I try to send them as attachments?

 

Thanks in advance for your help.
