hey guys are any of you running into problem uploading pic i keep getting i need to down size the manualy i dont have a clue how to do that:dontknow: and ya im a idot at this computer stuf!!!:joke:
it appears that the size limit of the files you can upload have been reduced. i had a few pictures that i was swapping back and forth in my avatar and i know for a fact that they were appropriate in size, however, after the switch to a different server i can no longer use them. i used the "paint" program to resize them down a bit and now i can use them again.
if your computer has Windows Photo Gallery:
1) Simply open up your picture with that program
2) Click on "Open" on top right portion of the toolbar
3) Then when the drop down tab opens up, click on "Paint"
4) Once in Paint, simply click on "Image" and then on "Resize/Skew"
You will see an option to "resize" your file (the upper half) and you will be able to choose the percentage of the file you want reduced. I usually go with 60% percent for both options and it works fine. However all files are different so you might have to play around with it a couple of time before you find the right size that the site will allow you to upload.
Here is a small tip. What I also like to do first before resizing a picture, is crop out all of the unnecessary stuff in the photo. That way I am still getting a good picture of what I want to show people without sacrificing clarity. I hope that helps you out. :bigthumbsup:
