those pics are super small...
bigger is always better u should know that
from those chevy guys =]

[tim]

I'd love to post 'em bigger but the max I seem to be able to add is 37k. Is there some way to get bigger pix up?

[DueyT]

Tim, if you use options for .jpg when you save the images you can make them bigger with less memory and . Quality factor = 60 or 70 should bring a .jpg into reasonable size yet not take up too much room. e.g. my "rear" is only 32k...and your "blown up" hood is only 18.2k :D

Cheers,
Duey

Thanks Duey,
I'll check it out. I just use the software that came with my camera (fuji - the software is "finepix viewer"). I'm sure it has some different quality settings. I belong to alot of other boards where I have no problems downloading pix of 100-200k, sometimes 5-10 of those size pix in high res per post, so I guess I'm a little spoiled. Man I wish we had better pic options. You should see how my car picture looks on a 160k file. I could live with more ads to have that.

OK, I feel like a total idiot, but I signed up for the pages as per Paul's suggestion, I created an index page, but when i try to upload images using "browse", I run into trouble. It fails and tells me I can only upload graphics files, even though I'm trying to upload a .jpg. Can you give me a brief step by step on how to make this thing work. The gallery builder help isn't much help to this point.

The gallery does not like Fuji's file nomenclature. When I upload pics to my website (provided by this site), I first name them something simple, like "M50left", and put it in a folder entitled "upload". The website then likes the format. I don't think it works well with all the underscores in a Fuji filename.
