Compression and ease of posting imbedded images is the main reason I host my photos online so I don't have to worry about resizing my photos just for this type of attachments. You probably know by now I'm not a real technical type of person. wink None of us expect the photos posted in these boards to be magazine quality because of the compressions required for in the attachments. To me there's just minute differences in the photos you posted, not enough to worry about. So when I use it, I'll choose no bigger than 800x600 pixels, and no smaller than 640x400 and the highest quality compression I can get to get it just barely under the 200MB limit.
