Edit your pictures.
Most members have their pictures saved on a website such as 'Photobucket', a very popular and well known photo sharing site.
PLEASE NOTE...Photobucket no longer offer any FREE 3rd party hosting. To use them yuou must have a paid for account.
Other members such as Myself, still prefere to upload pictures directly from their computer, but most sites including this one, have a file size limit and for this site, it is 256KB. This means any pictures stored on your PC that you have saved from your camera, will be too big in the physical size and the file size.
All you need to do, is make a copy of your picture you want to upload, then open up this copy in the 'Paint program', click on 'Image', scroll down to 'Resize' and change the percentage values from the 100% shown, to 40% and save.
By making a copy first, you will still have your original picture in it's original file size, it has not been changed.

P.S.
As Photography plays a big part in creating your pictures in the first place, here is a link to the 'Photography' thread which is 'On-Going' so keep popping in to see what else has been added.

Hi Ghosthunter.
The limits on file size uploads can be increased fairly easily, but as you can see on the 70b thread if you use the 'upload attachment' tab located below the reply box much larger pics can be uploaded.

Re: Edit your pictures.
Hi Nick,
Yes I saw those very large pictures of the 70b, but I think some browsers may have problems displaying such large file sizes, to view them Myself, I had to reduce the whole screen size with a zoom function on my browser's tab settings, not a problem for me, but others may not know this can be done to their screens.
While on the subject of pictures, I am happy to talk about pictures and picture problems within this thread and try and answer any questions relating to pictures.
Regards,
GHOSTHUNTER.

Re: Edit your pictures.
If you see members pictures within a 'slider' box, put your cursor on the picture and left click. This will open up the larger version. I have borrowed a picture from johnboy, (all copyright protected I trust...!!!), to show how so many pictures will be displayed, in a box with side and bottom 'slider' controls. NOW LEFT CLICK THIS PICTURE AND YOU WILL SEE THE FULL SIZE VERSION of this posting, not johnboy's picture.

Re: Edit your pictures.
lol, This reminds me of the first time I tried to edit a photo for my website, I was trying to resize a photo that was 2800 pixels wide to one 600 pixels wide, Easy I thought but I forgot to delete the 2800 before typing in my 600 so the photo was resized to 2800600 pixels, about the size of a football pitch lol

Re: Edit your pictures.
Nick,
Is it possible to get the size of the avatar option increased as it does not allow for any reasonably sized avatar?
