I am not very good with computer technology so can someone tell me how I can check if my picture is the correct size to upload to the forum.At the minute I choose the pic I want to post and then I'm told its too big.
Thanks.

Your picture size should be smaller than 700X700, or upload your picture
to something like http://photobucket.com/ just sign up for the free one
then upload your picture/look for browse R/H sideclick browse find picture on your pc/click submit/when image has been uploaded/you will see picture
with 3 boxes underneath/click and highlight the bottom one IMG/then R/click
copy then paste into your post its very easy to do
You can resize a picture using windows paint, right click your picture scroll
up to edit/picture will open in paint/image on top/scroll down to/stretch and
skew/when box opens/horizontal 100%/vertical/100% change these to
make your picture smaller/click ok/then save picture/

Craig,

The optimum image size is usually 640 x 480 pixels. This is the most popular size and should fit nicely on the screen without any overflows.

Thanks Padi, but could you call round and show me, it sounds complicated.

Honest its very easy,like JJ said optimum size is 640 x 480 pixels,but 700X700
is the max size allowed by forum software.If you upload your picture to
http://photobucket.com it will be automatically resized for you.Have a look
at the FAQ on top of forum lots of information in there,have practise with
a not wanted picture to resize it its very easy,search for a free picture
resizing program,their are lots out there.

A nice programme to use to resize pictures is Irfanview. It's available free from www.irfanview.com/

Once you have uploaded a picture to Photobucket, copy the URL by highlighting it and right clicking on it with your mouse. In your message you type [img] Then paste the link and close the square bracket as so [/img]

I hope this helps.
