I have seen you mods mention ....top of each forum page you will see a tutorial.
I never see it anywhere .
I looked at another link on the site updates news errors comments and suggestions and seen the tute there.

What I failed to see was, how to resize a piccy to upload in English anyway.

The way I do it is probably tedious but it's simple...
Make the required three posts before you're allowed post piccys first. Hi, Hello, How are ya.
With a windows computer, download
microsoft sharepoint designer ....(free)

Microsoft sharepoint designer has a program called microsoft office 2010 in with the bundle...
Use this for viewing/editing piccys....

When your photo is in a folder or on the desktop, right click on the pic and click "edit".
Hit resize, you will see a option "predifined with x height"....and select the largest file.
OK it, and drag the piccy back to where you had it .

It shall replace the resized pic if you want it to.
Now it is shrunk enough to post it on the forum.
Good luck
Tom

I don't mean to hijack the thread but figured id ask here instead of creating a new post just for a simple yes or no,

Do the file size restrictions apply to photos hosted on 3rd party sites such as flickr or it just for the in house photo uploader?

Thanks, Sam
