Putting photographs on posts

Hello
Just wondered if anyone knew the best way to put photographs on posts, especially panaoramic photos. I have a few I'd like to put on here, but I'm not sure of the best way, and is there a size and file limit that needs to be adhered to as well?
Thanks
Joe

When you write your post at the foot of the page are two options to load files or images, it is a bit restrictive to type you can load, and the size is not great , I usually use Microsoftt Editor and save the image for webpage, that often works

Chas spelled out where you can upload from, but I wanted to pass on a neat little freeware program I use to resize/resample my images when I need to for various reasons.
This is called Ifranview and it allows you to change the size and file type quite easily. Plus it is free!

Hope it helps someone.

Thanks for both replies, both very helpful.
I've tried Irfanview, took it off when I got photoshop, but am going to put it back on today as it has some unique features.
At some point I'll take some photos and load them up then.
Thanks
Joe

Hi Everyone,
Yes we did get the photo uploading working on the forum today. It seems if photos are too wide though it pushes the site to go wider too. So we will need to adjust further.
Enjoy (not too much

)
Big Jim
P.S. For anyone unsure about uploading just click browse to select your image and then put your cursor where you want the image to appear in the post. Finally click the "[ img ]" button next to browse to tag where you want your image to be. Click submit.
