This thread relates to all types of attachments, however as pictures or images are the most common type of attachments we'll concentrate on those.

If you have a slow internet connection it is recommended that you reduce the file size of pictures, by using a photo editing package, before uploading them. Oversize images will automatically be reduced in size by the forum software, but if you have a slow internet connection it will take a long while to upload five 4 Megabyte images and the upload may well time out!

The maximum file sizes permitted are as follows:-

.doc 1.00 MB
.gif 200.0 KB 800 X 600 pixels
.jpeg 200.0 KB 800 X 600 pixels
.jpg 200.0 KB 800 X 600 pixels
.pdf 4.00 MB
.png 200.0 KB 800 X 600 pixels
.rtf 1.00 MB
.txt 100.0 KB
.zip 4.00 MB

Make sure you know where your images are stored on your PC, as you'll need to locate them later. It's a sensible idea to create a new folder for these images; maybe below "My Pictures".

Rename the files for easy lookup. DAC90 underchassis.view.jpg is better than Dscf00334.jpg.

Note that you cannot upload the same image to more than one post, even if you change the file name. You'll need to crop the image slightly to allow it to be uploaded again.
