Posting Photos - instructions and resizing help

[SlightlyTaintedSaintGeorge]

Since a lot of people seem to be asking lately, I thought I would post this.

To post a picture you can choose one of two topic headings - Member Profiles or For Sale.

Start a new thread under your chosen topic and make the first post. Be careful what you say, it will be the post to appear next to the picture and will always be at the top of the thread

After you make the first post, a link will appear (only the thread starter can see it).

Click the link and then click browse to search your PC to find the pic you want. Now upload the pic.

The pics have to be JPG format and 18K or less. It is a good idea to have the sizing sorted before you start the thread, or you will have lots of jokes about snow.

If you can't resize on your PC then useful sites for resizing software are:

Picasa

or

Irfanview

HTH

Bump!!

Cos I think it's a good idea!!

Thanks STSG - I'm guilty of not knowing how to resize my pics,so that's really helpful.Just my luck,I'll still have problems figuring it out!.

SG why are you tainted?

I had to confess at cheating on a game Mars and I are playing

norty! is that Godtower thing I keep seeing?

how can you cheat? - not like you either tch, tch!

Yes it's Godtower.

I'm nifty at googling and sort of tripped over a site with a few answers on. Only had to resort to it twice so far

LOL - maybe Mars is too - she's just not confessed

I think you need to resize the image (using picasa etc) before you try to put it on the thread.

so do you have to start a new thread to show a photo - how come people manage it within an existingn thread??
