Chet, or Colleen, I always just upload my pics to my Photobucket.com account, and then link the pic to the post with the add image button.. this way they show up full size on posts.. this is how I have always done it, cause some boards I am a member to will not host the pics themselves, also makes it easier to post the same pics on multiple boards. Let me know if you need help doing this, I think its the best way myself.. cingrats on October, I can't make it till after the first of the year..
