Help with pictures

[sugandsam]

I'm new on this website and I'd love to post my dogs picture with my username and also post pictures along with messages. My pictures from my computer are too large. How can I fix this problem. I need some step by step directions. Thanks to anyone who can help me out!

You need to open the pictures in any paint program - Paintshop comes with a lot of computers, and you can reduce their size there. Then see Phred's excellent tutorial.

Thank you for your help. I received Phred's tutorial and figured it out. I am wondering about posting the alvatar (sp?) with my posts. Can I do that with a pic of my pugs?

If you go into your UserCP there will be a link on the left that says "edit avatar". It will give you the option to upload an avatar there! Make sure the avatar is no larger than 60x60
