I checked the size of your pics, they are'nt that big.45 kb or so. There is an upload limit, however. Even before I joined the A Guard, I had at least four pages of pictures in my gallery. joining hte A-Guard gives yiou way more space, for storage, but you're still limited to 5 pictures at a time.

Hey Chris- the simplest way of doing a good quality reduction (I find, and if you use a pc of course) is to simply open my photos in microsoft paint and using the 'stretch/skew' function (ctrl+w) can reduce a 2.2Mb to 30 or 40% of it's original size whilst maintaining quality. Obviously if the picture needs trimming the size of the file will be even further reduced.
This picture
began life as 2.2Mb 5megapixel image.
I would suggest photoshop or paintshop for any other manipulation of the image - even trimming in MSPaint is a chore...
Hope this helps.
MC
