Just a test.

Nice test

I swear I just left a message here because I was having a hard time trying to post a picture in the BB thread. It is 352 large, does this make a difference? I'm on dial up it took forever to load then I got the "can't find" screen, boo hoo.

Also, I attempted to use some pics as avatars but they are too large, is there a way to shrink the size of pics you have downloaded to your pic files so they can be used?

Thanks in advance for any help you might provide and nausicaa, I agree with John, that woman doesn't even look real she is so perfect, lol.

PS - Ok, at least my test to add this picture this time tells me my picture is too large to post, so will need somebody's help to maybe tell me how to reduce the byte size. I have most of my pictures saved as bitmaps.

You can get a free image editing software - 20/20 is what I use, and it's free. Or Paint Shop Pro, which has a 30 day trial.

Then you can resize your images, and save them as different file types (I recommend jpg).

Thanks John. Now I have to learn another stinking software program?
Where would I get a 20/20, sorry to be such a pain.

Thanks!

Cool....this appears to be working for me.

Sorry, really sucky picture that my daughter took of me as we were coming down off of Dun Angus on Inishmoor, County Galway, Ireland.

Ok....brain must rest.......................... ......

I'm so glad I found this thread. I've been trying to figure out a way to post pictures that aren't microscopic!!
Let me try.

Hmm..I can't find this URL thing under properties. What should it look like?

ETA: Woah! It worked, but that picture was huge!
