Both are used by TF people. Photobucket also has a site and does re-sizing for you, although I struggled to figure them out. But you are more computer literate than me!

resizing program:
http://www.irfanview.com
its free, and very usefull!
remember to REname the image after you resize with a DIFFERENT name!
if you original image is DCP00234.jpg,
resize it, then name the new one DCP00234-smaller.jpg
or whatever name you want..
but if you just save the smaller image *without* renaming it,
you basically made your ORIGINAL image smaller, and your original full-size image is lost forever..and you might want the big one again for something!
640 pixels wide is the best size for posting in the forums.
