Tutorial of Tinypic

Problem we are trying to address with this tutorial ~ Given:
Large pictures posted to this forum from other locations (unlike our albums) don't conform
to sizing constraints and cause thread stretching or non optimal reading
for members here:
***

Our suggested Solution:
Use on the fly Tinypic web based program to take over sized pictures
from your computer or the URL from the web and convert it with ease to
conform to T&TTT size friendly appearance so as to not stretch threads so
posts will be able to be read with ease. The easy solution code can then
be cut and pasted into posts on this forum with a uniformity of pictures
that will resolve the thread stretching problem that causes reading
issues.

We would like all pictures to be in this zone of sizing:
Our T&TTT album Max picture sizing is as follows:
Maximum image width (pixel): 820
Maximum image height (pixel): 652

The Tinypic program has these options that best fit our goal sizing below:
When using Tinypic please choose one of these options for results
"Message Board (640x480)" or Website/email (320x240) option

...in addition, we would ask anyone posting any pics, regardless of where they come from to reduce the size to a maximum of 800x600 or much preferably 640x480...most photo handling software can do this for you...my preference is from www.irfanview.com ...if you open an account and upload to photobucket, it will resize them during the upload and even provide the proper tags for posting on our forum board....thank you.........................
