There are two ways to get a photo on your profile, but remember that the size of the photo file needs to be small, about 50 - 70 KB
1. Upload from PC
2. Link to Imageshack, photobucket etc
To Upload from PC
To resize photograph download Pixresizer from http://bluefive.pair.com/pixresizer.htm
Install the software and run it.
The screen will look like this

Go to "Load Picture" and load the picture that you want to use.
Choose the reduction % ie 25% and then click on "Save Picture" - Make a note of where it is saved to.
Go to your profile on the forum and then choose Forum Profile Information. You will then see three options
1. Personalized Picture:
2. I have my own pic:
3. I will upload my own picture: - Use this option
Make sure Option three is marked.
Click on "Browse"
Navigate to where your photo is stored and upload it.

Terry!!! what a star you are, this is my new profile pic a tortoise who was doing what they do...but in the middle of the road, we just missed him/her as we drove up the hill from the night owl one afternoon, didnt want it to see it hurt,so did right or wrong and put it in a safer place.
