    One of the great features of the HOWL Yahoo Group is the ability to post pictures and graphics. We are limited to 30MB of space, so they do get weeded out occasionally. Nothing personal. I was thinking that there are two ways we can all work together on sharing this space. 1. First, crop all your photos (trim away all the extra space), and reduce them to no larger than 320 X 240 pixels. 240 X 180 is even better. Also, reduce the quality of your jpgs to 50% or less, and gifs to as few colors as you can (932 at most). 2.The second thing is to go back after a short while, and think about removing what you posted. Keep the relevant stuff, and the track pictures, maybe. Thanks for the consideration. SCB
