Trying to post pictures, but having a hard time. They seem to be too big. How do I make the photos smaller?

Post it Eyes and I can go in and adjust the size down for you.  I just have to go in and adjust the YaBBC tag for width and height.

He may be getting the message "to big" because of megabyte size, not page size.
He needs to reformat it for email, would be my guess.

Should be able to do a  [img width=*** height=***]http://url[/img] and it should resize it, I would think.

Not if what he is trying to upload is megabytes in size, most pics are in kilobytes, not megabytes.
Today's cameras take pics in gigabytes.

I am quite ignorant about computers, I am told the picture is too big, but no instructions how to reduce it, not left or right click instructs.I did not try to email it to myself, but will try that now.

Ok, I am not sure if or how I am doing this, But here goes. This is from back in the day on a hike in Foz du Iguacu, Brazil. if it works, a more up to date photo will follow.

Now it is saying the uploader is full, Have I multiple pictures clogging it up?

Sounds like you're on the right track.
Sizing it for email was the right move, that generally shrinks the Kilobyte size, so the pic is sent much faster, since you took out much of the detail that most people would never notice missing anyway.

Now it sounds like your box is full, you need to figure out how to empty the uploader box, generally you will find a help file in the program or site.
Look around the program/site for a way to delete your previous uploads, or start a new upload.

I can't really help without more detail, like what site you're using as a host site.
I assume you are using a host site like Flikr, or Fotki?
You need a site to host the pic, because we can't look at your personal computer to view the pic, that's why a host is important, we can view host sites.

No host site, I hit browse here, then go to my pictures, choose a picture, and then reduce it on "Edit" from the right click. I reduced it in size and sent it, still to big, then again, and was told here the uploader was full.

The picture I am using is the one in my avatar, which seemed to have no problem in receiving.

The only way to post a pic here is to first upload it to a host site, even facebook can be considered a host site.
But one I use and they are just one of hundreds is :
http://beta.photobucket.com/?home_ab=true

Just open a free account, it will walk you through the process.
I've had my account with them for about a decade, seldom use it, but the pics are still there if I ever need them.
The process takes about 3o minutes, but it's pretty easy for beginners.
