Cropping is not the answer --  you need to reduce the size (resolution) of the picture.  Look for "resize" or similar command in your image adjustment toolbar.

magic33im: Go ahead and email the photo to me if you can't figure it out and I'll post it here.  My email info can be found here (http://bulbcollector.com/contact.html).  In addition to what Chris suggested, save the picture as a JPEG file (if it isn't already) and reduce the file size by playing with the compression ratio (an option generally available in your image editing software when performing the "save as" command).  Once you get the file size below 196kb, you should be all set and the forum will accept the attachment.
