Default can't get pictures posted!

OK, I've tried and tried.
I'm working on a apple. I go to the pictures thread, click for new post. I type in a message and scroll down to Manage Attachments. I choose my picture(s) and click to upload. Then EVERY time, it says "upload failed."
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing (or not)?
Thanks!

Whenever I get the message upload failed it is because my pictures are too big. Try reducing the size of your pictures

Pictures are probably too big. Happened to me, and I had to get my son to reduce pics.

I'm sure that's the problem but I can't figure out how to reduce the size. If I go to email, which allows it be be shrunk, it goes to a regular email form and I can't "transfer" it to this forum.
I always knew I was computer illiterate!

here is what I do. I email myself the picture. I right click on the picture and "save it to downloads." Then, when I go to add the picture, I retrieve it from downloads. does that make sense?

i can right click on a photo and then go to OPEN with -Paint. in there i can edit/resize it.
otherwise i can right click on the photo and click COPY. then edit that one smaller. rename it same name with number 2 so you will know which one you just made smaller. play around. i'm sure you can figure something out that works for you.

thanks for all the tips on getting pictures to post. I have been having the same problems and I really appreciate all the tips and comments made here and I will give it the old college try one more time.
