Can someone tell me the size limit for an image I can post in a forum?

Is there also a resolution limit as well?

Resolution's irrelevant, since where on-screen images are concerned, it's the same thing as the physical size - dpi's only relevant in printing.

I don't think there's an actual size limit to pics in the forum itself. The attachment feature allows a maximum size of 256KB, but from an external account you're only limited by what that account will let you upload.

When posting, though, although it's not strictly forbidden, pics much over 500 pixels wide are likely to make you unpopular, as they'll force people to scroll across the page to read everything, as well as down.

Mmm k. Thanks

I only post huge pics when I need to.
