It looks like Petey reduced the pic size substantially, but they still require a little scrolling.

For all my huntchat pics, I have a separate folder. I never reduce the data size of an actual digital picture because I might lose some of the quality of the photo. Hence, I save every pic with a huntchat001, huntchat 002, etc name.

I use Microsoft Photo Editor to reduce my picture size. From the My Documents/My Photos folder, or whichever folder your pics are located in, open the pic with Microsoft Photo Editor so that you can edit the pic. Once the pic is opened in this software, select Image from the top menu, and then select Resize from the Image drop down menu. Depending on what size the file was orignally, you might have to reduce it significantly. With my wife's new 7.1 megapixel camera, I have to reduce photos to 30% of their original size to get them to fit on huntchat. Once you reduce the photo, select File from the top menu and then select Save As from the File drop down menu. Save the edited file as huntchat001. That way, you will always know which photo you want to post on the web and you will never edit an original photo.

As far as cropping photos is concerned, save them under a new name too if you crop them or you will lose whatever you crop. I always leave my originals as is and resave any changes to a new file. Hardrives nowadays are large enough to contain a ton of information.
