Right click on the image file for your pictures. A box will appear next to the arrow, and scroll up (or down) to the bit saying "Open With". Another box will then appear and scroll across and left click on "Paint". There should be a toolbar just above the area where your image is and click on "Image" (it should be the 4th one along). Click on Image, and then scroll down to "Stretch/Skew" and click on that. Change the values in the top 2 boxes (the stretch ones) to 30%, and then click on OK. Hopefully the size of the images should be Ok now. Then you can save the file and upload it.

Yes thats a point also, it needs to be saved as a jpg for the uploader to work it won't accept bmp files.

Nooo! take it easy. The hardest thing is getting your pics from your camera to the puter. After that it is easy.

I take it that you have a USB lead to transfer your pics to the puter.

PM me if you want help.

Right click on a picture you want to put on the site

Open With

Paint:




Then when the picture is in paint. Click on "Image" Then "Stretch/Skew":



Then in this box change the two top numbers to 30:



Make sure you save the smaller versions somewhere other than your ACTUAL pictures because if you dont you could end up just reducing the quality of your ACTUAL pictures (I save mine in a seperate folder called "pictures resized for the site") this means whenever i want a small piccy i just look in there

Then your ready for your post:
Type what you want then click "image uploader" at the top of the web page, click browse button then simply go to where you saved them (pictures resized for the site) And put them all on in there own lickle box then press upload at the bottom

When you get all the text just highlight it and right click "copy" then paste it in your post

Hope this helps iceman
