THE TRAD GANG CRITERIA FOR POSTING IMAGES
We do NOT allow posted images wider than 640 pixels! You MUST edit all larger images down to 640 pixels or less in width. There are no exceptions to this rule - if we find a posted image that's WIDER than 640 pixels, we reserve the right to delete it without warning or explanation!
HOW TO POST YOUR IMAGE AT TRAD GANG
The image/picture you wish to add to a post must reside somewhere on the Internet (on a server) - you can't post an image directly from your computer.
If you don't have server space to use, we strongly suggest you register with ANY online image archive client - there are lots to choose from and one that I recommend is
www.PhotoBucket.com - it's a FREE Internet image storing service that will allow the unrestricted remote access of your image (this is important! most online image storage services will not allow remote image access!).
You MUST resize your image to no wider than 640 pixels before uploading to PhotoBucket. For PhotoBucket image tutorials, click the hotlink below ...
