Hopefully, with some time you'll find the site easier to navigate. As far as where to post it, you are pretty close. "General Tormek Questions" would be where I would put it. One level higher than this subfolder ("Tips and Tricks..."). I know nothing about the 2000 so I won't try to help with your primary question. Spend some time exploring the different topic specific subforums to get a feel for the types of things discussed in each. You'll get the hang of it.
As for picture sizes, given that most photos we take these days are high in pixel count, they are typically several MegaBytes in file size and LOTS of pixels. For example, my phone take images with 3042 x 4032 pixels and are about 8 MB. Many forums restrict the file size so as to not overload storage, etc. I find it most convenient to reduce the pixel size from the native size to 640 x 480, which on this forum display large but do not spill over the width of the frame in which messages are displayed. I use third-party utility programs to do that downsizing. I have no idea how you take photos or what utilities you might have for reducing file size / pixel density, so if you are not familiar with this sort of thing, is there anyone you know that can assist you?
This photo is 640x480 and 117 KB in file size. Shown immediately below it has been "inserted" into the text and takes up about half of the window width on my display. Further down, is the "thumbnail" as photos will be shown that have been uploaded but not "inserted". If your photo is much larger, viewers may have to scroll over to see all of the content.
