I have a 5mp camera. The settings I can select from are as follows:

2592 x 1944
2048 x 1536
1600 x 1200
640 x 480

What is the largest size I should post here? For pics that I am going to have developed, I always leave the camera at 2592 x 1944. I figure that way if I decide to enlarge one it will still look good. It also allows me to zoom and crop before developing.

After looking at how good Bee Driven's pics are, I want to get my camera dialed in before the RRC. Any thoughts?

Shoot your pix in the highest resolution possible, this gets you the best results if you want to print 'em
If you need to be economic with your memory stick/card and still need decent print quality, choose the second highest

Before posting on the bbs, just use some piece of photosoftware (prolly came with the camera) and resize to 800x600 or 640x480

Equally important when posting on the BBS is setting the .jpg compression
This also determines the file size
Usually, you can get away with about 50% compression without too much quality loss (unless there is a lot of red in your picture)

BTW, the dpi resolution only makes a difference when you are sizing your pictures in inches or cm's
when you (re)size your pic in pixels, the resolution is irrelevant
