My hosting site changed to a new platform.....
The HTML on the old site automatically resized them for posting here and their new one doesn't so all my old photos come out randomly sized. I would have to upload everything again sizing from my computer. I'll be dead before I complete that task.

Here's an easy way top resize the images in your post
Copy the image into your post, then edit the post. You can edit before your post or after you preview your post by hitting the "Edit" button below the post. You can make the image any size you like by adding a simple phrase just before the last "/>" in the code. Here's what the original image code looks like:

And here's what the new image code looks like, notice the phrase width="600" added near the end.

if you're still on aol...
I sent you an email with a sample HTML from Photobucket which looks nothing like yours. Please show me where/how to insert that code.

You can also simply size your photos to your desired dimensions in your own computer with any photo-editing software or with MS Paint. The DCZ allows you to also upload directly from your computer or desktop if you want, rather than having to always use a photo-hosting site.
I do both, but I either upload to a special folder at a photohosting site already in the size I want to post (generally 1024 horizontal), or I upload directly from my computer, again in a 1024-sized form already.
Of course, John's method of editing the HTML code works perfectly, too.

Years ago Mr.K suggested Photo & Pic Resizer app which I've been using ever since. It's easy and allows me to post pics directly from my phone to the Die Cast Forums. I don't have a computer. And I'm using the free version which stores my pics also.

OK. That's weird. I don't see your email. I just sent a copy to your diecast.org address.

I have a couple of ways at resizing on my PC...
the problem would be uploading a zillion pictures to replace the ones in the hosting site.
If I can alter the code after posting here, I can use the photos already there.
