When you reply look down and to the left for additional options . A open it and browse to the photos.

AH! there is the rub. You have to go to a photo editor to do it. The you have to save it .

 To me it was easier to buy an iPad. No iPhone?

Robyn, this is how Chelsea told me to reduce the size ages ago. Try this.

I open the folder where the photo is currently saved (can even be your camera folder).
I right click on the photo and a menu appears.
I click on the "open with" option.
I then click on the "paint" option and it will open in the paint program (don't worry if it is huge).
I then click on the "image" menu at the top.
I click on the stretch and skew option in the image menu.
In stretch and skew I change the stretch settings to 25% and 25% (and leave the other settings).Obbie sometimes 25% is even too big so I use either 18% or 20%
I then click on the file menu and click on the "save as" option.
I type a new name for my smaller sized photo. (I don't bother doing this step)
I find the folder where I want to save my resized photo in the drop down menu (I use "my pictures" folder)
I click on save and then close the paint program.
The smaller sized photo will be saved in the folder I selected and will open in almost every application (not just paint).

From here, if the picture is either too big or too small, I simply go back into paint and increase the size by say 120% if I want it bigger and decrease to 80-90% if I want it smaller.  You can do this as many times as you wish to get to the allowable size for the forum which is roughly 150-160mb I think

$80 this week. Pleased with that. I'm aiming for a no dollar week ahead. Haven't managed one yet.

Had my aussie farmers delivery, they had a box of fruit for $20, very happy with it. Mandrins, pears, apples & bannanas. Great for lunch boxes.

Total so far incl aussie farmers $58.
