Minn, perhaps you could explain a little about the picture thing. When I upload photos I can only upload one at a time on the upload screen. I can usually put as many into the reply as I want but I have to upload them 1 at a time. My camera is a 7.2 magapixel. If I try to upload more than one it tells me that the file is too large (over 6 megabites I assume). I'd like to know if there's a way to downsize my pictures after I take them. For example, I don't think I have one picture that is small enough for me to use as a thumbnail on my profile. Any time I try to put a picture in there it always tells me the file is too large.

Thanks

download the free program called Irfanview. I use it for all my picture resizing/renaming as well as just viewing pictures. It has a really handy batch command that allows you to convert a ton of pictures to different formats, rename a bunch of pictures, or resize a bunch of pictures. It is pretty self explanatory to use and is a pretty handy program.

Most Windows programs have a editor tool called Paint:
1) Right click the mouse button on the photo you want to edit
2) Scroll down to 'Open with' and when the menu opens click on 'Paint'
3) Click on 'Image' to open the menu and scroll down and click on 'Resize/Scew'
4) Under 'Resize' in the boxes where it says 'Horizontal' and 'Vertical' type in the percentage you want the photo to resize to. Keep the amount equal in both boxes. 50%-55% is usually enough to make the photo small enough to upload.
5) After you have the percentages typed into the boxes click 'Ok'. Close the photo page. When it asks you "do you want to save the changes" click 'Save'

Hope this helps. If you do not have Paint on your computer sorry I can not help. Then simply follow the upload instructions in RCU. You can only upload photos when you click on the 'Post Reply' button. You can not upload photos in the 'Fast Reply' window.

Just to add to that. use the save-as and save it with a different name so you preserve the original. If you save it as the original picture file, you will save it as the resized picture and not the original size specs.

CGR, good point.

I usully put a -s at the end of the file name to note which files are "small"
