You need to lower the resolution of the pictures and/or switch them to the JPG file format.

Go to download.com and pickup Paint Shop... it'll do everything you'll need to be.

I had this problem too, thanks for the suggestions. I'll try to put up some photos of my favorite RX7 (mine) in the next few days. And 851stgen, it's not that bad. I just realized my phone has been out the last few days and somehow I survived. So chill out, we'd love to see your car!

I usually use Photoshop to lower image size!

open the image in Ps, then save as .jpg and it gives you the option of changing its size before saving

Yes, but generally people don't go by Photoshop just to reduce image filesize...

And we certainly won't promote any illegal activities...

If you are running a Microsoft Operating System, crop it using Microsoft Paint. If you use Linux, I'll just laugh at you.

Chances are you won't be able to post them even if they're the right size coz the forums so damn slow and keeps ******* up.

Amen Inittab!


If the filesize is too big after you switched to the jpeg format you can reduce the resolution of the image. Try making it 50% of the original.

Hmm. I'm starting to feel like this is a lounge topic.

Yea YOur probobly right about it being a lounge topic.
But the pics are of a first gen though........

I think I downloaded Linux. Seems to be a pretty nice program, but I am more a gear head, and racer than a computer nerd, and I cant figure this **** out.

Pickup Mandrake 9.1 or Red Hat 9.0

Dead simple to use.

And incredibly stable!


So where's these pics?? =)
