Hi Rex, I found a way of reducing the size so I could post them here.  From picasa I email them to myself, then when you open the email click on 'save as'. and put them in 'My documents'  That automatically reduces them, then you can just upload to this site....a bit of a roundabout way, but it works for me.

Attaching pictures isn't really that difficult Rex. Have a look at these help topics

I am also going to ask the moderators to change your email so it is in a form the spambots won't recognise

Dear Racy,   :hi:  don't give up I'm sure some nice person on here will give you some advice..... I have a complete phobia with the pics stuff... but even I manage to post stuff occasionally.  Your glass sounds wonderful and you may find that you can use the BMG to identify the stuff you havn't identified yet.   :thup: cheers steph

I reckon my personal favourite of this lot is probably the Reijmyre Owl - it does not show up well in that photo.

Hi Rex

Have you tried to resize your photos using the PAINT program?

What I usually do is, after loading the photos to my computer (which will usually be stored in My Document folder), I'll then go and click on the PAINT icon (you can find this icon under your accessories file...the one which looks like a few paint brushes in a container) and resize the photos from 100% to 45%.

Hope this helps

Would love to see photos of your collection.....cos I collect the same sort of things like you do :)

Cheers
Brenton

Yep, I'll vouch for Brenton's method of resizing!
Although I have other options and programs available it is much quicker to re size with windows.
Like Brenton I save a copy of my photo to my documents. Then open the copy in my documents by right clicking it and selecting "open with" and choosing paint.  In paint you then select "image" and  then "stretch/skew" and making the same adjustment percentage in vertical and horizontal as this is only a copy of the original image I don't even bother to rename it when I save it. After a few you get pretty good at seeing the image size and estimating the percentage you need to adjust to to get it to 125 KB!
Then it is simple to post here by using the browse/attach button here where your posting by accessing your my docs file and viola open the image!
I have used several versions of windows and so far they are all very similar.
Cheers
