 I recently switched to a smart phone ( AND I HATE IT!!!!!!!!ARGGGHHH) the pictures it takes are too big to post here.. How do i resize them?

you can reduce the size of you pictures in your phone's setting. Look in your owners manual.

I use a work-around -- upload pictures to my Facebook, save back down to phone/pc then post to GTA.

I have my phone set at the lowest resolution, 6 meg, but the pictures are still too large.  I then email them to myself and edit them with Microsoft Office Picture Manager on my pc.  I crop them and then resize to 1024x768.

The pictures are then small enough and I attach them to the bottom of my posts.  Inline would be better but I haven't figured out how to do that.  DEZ said in a post that there may be enough space on the web server to host the pictures.  I have to find that post and re read.

If you don't have Microsoft Office installed you can use Microsoft Paint.  Here is an easy to understand tutorial:

I use this online editor to set the size like I want.

These will optimize your images. Though resizing isn't yet an option.

If using a PC you can download a free copy of Irfanview.  It's a pretty good editor and will easily handle resizing - to about any size you want.  It works on various versions of Windows, but only for Windows.

You can download from:  http://www.irfanview.com/main_download_engl.htm

For more information about the program check out: http://www.irfanview.net/

It is freeware.
