Hi Folks,
Forum admin and overall web guy here.
I just wanted to say it's amazing to see so many AZL Forum members posting their images here, we all love this enthusiasm! Being the admin, I tend to keep mt eye on the... well, admin side of things too and I've just made a small change that will keep the forum running smooth and fast, keeping images uploaded to the forum at 300k for each image.
For magically reducing image file size I LOVE the TinyPNG website. It's free, fast, no sign-up needed and it's incredibly effective:

Another site I really like and use a few times every week for my own smartphone camera images when I post to things like Facebook or Twitter is the BeFunky website. This is more like a junior version of Photoshop, it's also free to use with no sign-up needed:

Using one or both of these free sites should make the AZL Forum run even better. And of course don't forget about adding your YouTube videos to your posts too!
Thanks everyone,
John

If you're not familiar with how to go from a smartphone camera, which usually produces very large images (and their file size), to a good online size, say 1000 or 1200 pixels wide I've added some links here that will be a big help.

All you do is drop your images onto the page and POOF, it greatly reduces the file size while keeping the image dimensions the same with virtually no loss of your image quality. Cool!

Using this site you can crop, resize and adjust brightness... a lot of the basic adjustments are available for free. Resizing is really the big one here as when viewed in a forum, an image 1000 or 1200 pixels wide is usually more than large enough to get across a great picture! It's really easy to use, just like the TinyPNG site, you just drag and drop your picture onto the web page and edit as much as you want.
