Anytime I try to attach a file it starts out so large I'm not even close to resizing down to the limit. Soooo when I see this really nice picture on a post can I assume they are linking rather than uploading it as a file? Thanks!

Attachments have a 40k file size limitation and one-per-post.
Imbedded images, using the IMG tag, are unlimited, but are best displayed when they are 640x480 or 800x600.
If you have an image too large to attach, upload it to your galley, then use the IMG tag to insert it into a post.
View the picture in full size in the Gallery. Point to the desired full-sized picture and right-click, then select Properties. Note in the middle of the Properties Window there is Address (URL). Highlight the entire address, right-click on the highlight and select Copy.
Then, when you start a post that you would like to include that photo..at the point you want the photo to appear, depress the IMG button in the control panel area above the big gray Reply Box... a pop-up will appear with "
http://" in blue. Just point to that phrase, right-click and select paste. That will insert the URL of your image. Say OK and the photo is now imbedded in your post.
Ideal Gallery sizes are 60k to 120k.
