Reef keeper, you should have a menu item in your photo processing software that allows you to change the image size. Just make the width 800 pixels and do a save as. If you don't have image-processing software, let me know and I'll try to help you.

Dowtish, please read the image size requirements in the first post of this thread.
Thanks,

Also if you upload your photo to Image hosting, free photo sharing & video sharing at Photobucket you can resize them there very easy.

Folks, I'm sorry to be such a stickler for this image size thing. I'm just trying to keep the image sizes within reason and having all images the same relative size keeps the voting on a level playing field, i.e., one large image doesn't visually dominate. In recent months I've been resizing images and posting them on the server that hosts my website. I can't keep doing that. I hope all understand.

Try uploading the image again using the "bulk uploaded" tool on Photobucket. It gives you the option to resize the image during upload (you should pick the 800x600 resolution) which may resolve your problem. HTH!
