Use a simple picture editor, like Microsoft Picture Manager. Most have facility to reduce the picture size which would also reduce the file size.

Paint Shop Pro - should be free - the one I use is years out of date, but it does this well - also cropping, adding text, etc.

Easier yet go to http://www.picresize.com/ if your picture is too large for the forum.
Effortless to use and then post your pic on the forum's own photo upload program.
When on your post page (TalkBlade) scroll down a tiny bit,you will see "Upload Attachment" click that and then you see a box with "Browse" click that and choose your photo.
I usually change the file name (picture name) to one that is easier to find. Files are stored in alphabetical/numerical order so I add a zero to the front so it's right there when I look for it.
I am not at all tech-minded but taught myself some quick and easy tricks.
It may not be important but pics uploaded directly to the forum from your computer are permanent and those from outside programs are usually lost after a while.
