Test Posts, Picture Resizing, Etc, Etc

Use this thread for testing/resizing/fixing pics before you try and post them on a proper thread.
Rules that work for pictures on all forum:
1) Using whatever photo editing software you have on your computer, resize the photo to under 200kb, and 800x600 is a good size dimension - not too big that it causes scrolling on most computer screens. Don't use overly long file names or file names that have characters such as "!" "?" "*" "#" etc. This goes double for fishing report photos!
2) make your post FIRST, then when you see your post appear on the thread, click the "attach" link in the upper right corner of your thread. This takes you to a navagation box where you can find your picture and upload it to the post. After it uploads click the "back" text link
3) for the fishing reports, enter all your information, hotspots, and report text first, and upload the photo last. For some reason if you do it the other way around the photo gets disconnected from the report. Don't ask me why...
3) that's it!

That is the laziest way I have ever seen in crediting yourself with a post. Bucking for Admiral?
