As you have probably noticed I am always pulling people up on the size of some of the pics posted.This is because they really distorts the forum and makes it awkward to view without scrolling across the screen If we could all keep pics to around 800x600 it would be appreciated,doesn't have to be exact but close would be good.
So the normal reply is "I dont know how to resize" well here ya go its simple.
1.Right click on your pic.
2.Highlight edit and click.
3.This will open image in Paint.
4.Along the top of the screen you will see "image" next to "file" etc..click this then click on "stretch and skew"
5.On the box "stretch" you will see two boxes..enter the same number in both boxes I.E 50% in both(try different amounts depending on size of pic)
6.Once reduced to desired size go up to file,click this and then click "save as" either rename or choose same file name,thats up to you...
All done!!..simple eh.

Once resized hit browse under the box where you enter the text of your post or if hosted on photobucket etc copy and paste the image link into the text box.
