There is a forum on this msg board dedicated to posting pictures and how to do it and the problems some people run across.

I will take a stab at it and say that the picture is way to large. Go to the sub-forum and you will find many msg threads about pictures that will not be there after uploading.

Taking a look at the one picture (as of right now) that you have in your gallery I see that it is over 750 kb in size. Since you are limited to 2000 kb in the gallery you are using up space fast.

Take the original picture, resize it to something reasonable, like 800X640 and save it under a different name. That way you still have the original in case you want to do any other digital darkroom work. Upload the new picture.

The new digital cameras are great and do a good job on quality of photo but they store pictures that are way to large for the average person to use or to eMail or to post on web sites.

Take a look at that forum down near the bottom of the listing of all the forums available on Michigan Sportsman.com

I see you got the second picture up on the photo gallery.

If you add up the size of both photos you will see that it comes close to 1375 kb which leaves you in a position where you might not be able to get another one up there.

Thanks , Yeah I just got a new hp camera witht the touch screen and it takes great pics . But I see your point and it does make the pics huge when you load them . I'll have to figure out how to make them smaller . Thanks alot for the help .

Check out some of the threads in the photo forum on the msg board.

I save all my photos in the largest resolution possible and always rename them after I do any work on them. The software that came with the camera should resize them and have the "save as" option so you can do the rename. There are several free photo/graphic editing programs out there.

Just go to your picture folder on your PC and right a photo and select resize pictures. Select a small or medium and it creates a copy of your picture with the same name except it will have small or medium in the name.
