I think you need to change the ending from bmp to jpg.

(I'm not good with computers either. I use photobucket to upload piccies: it does it all for you.)

forest flame the Maximum Upload Size using our picture faculity is 256 KB in the following formats gif, jpeg, jpg, png, tga, tif . Any larger or any other format and the image will not appear. Photobucket as mentioned by kindredspirit is another route open to you.

odd that a mobile phone would take photos in BMP format...
you should be able to open the shot in any photo editor (including microsoft paint) and choose to save it as a jpg.
