RainbowBob, I don't quite understand why Irfanview isn't the solution. You can use it to resize both the physical dimensions and the file size. If your resize question isn't about one of those two options, please explain again.

We don't allow uploading the exact same image twice simply for disk storage reasons. There is no need to upload it twice anyway since you can use it in any number of posts after it's been uploaded the first time. Copy the URL of the attachment (right click on it and get the URL from the Properties), then paste that URL between the [IMG] [/IMG] tags, or you can simply copy the attachment number only (usually a 5 digit number) between the ATTACH tags.
