I don't know anything about the picture program from Google so can't help you there.

But on the My C3 Registration page (another link is on the My Account menu tab/page) boxes 19, 20, and 21 are where you enter the URL for images to be displayed.

Most image hosting sites have directions in their Help world for accessing images for display on other web sites.

Jeremy,
Go to "My Personal File Folder" here on C3VR.com (under the "My Account" menu).

Follow the instructions there to upload file(s) from your computer's hard drive to the C3VR site (in your folder).  Once uploaded, you'll see link(s) (URLs) to your uploaded files. These are the URLs that you'll use in your registration.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

how do you make a pic smaller? or is it possible to make the upload memory size larger than 500kb because all of my pics are 1-2 mb each. and they are teh ones from tail of the dragon from the cds i ordered. even the disposable camera pics i had gotten back are larger than 500kb. do they even make cameras anylonger that take 500kb pics?

The google photo software should have a method to resize the photo before saving (maybe "Exporting") it to your hard drive. Usually just by reducing it's dimensions will take the size down enough.  Make it no more than 600 pixels wide.

That size is ok if you use a link to reference the image in a thread.  If you're going to display the image in a post please make it no wider than 400 pixels.  And if you're going to use the image in your signature please make it no wider than 200 pixels.

Thanks!

How do I look at my signature after adding a photo using the instructions from this post?  How can I check what I've added?
