Glad to hear it helped.

Personally, I use a freeware program called "StgThumb" to resize photos -- it does a very high quality resize, whereas many commercial $$$ programs do not. I use it to resize my 2 megapixel photos into something small enough to actually fit on a web page. You can find it by using http://google.com to search for it.

In Windows Paint, use the Image menu "Stretch/Skew" to resize the picture.

1. For an avatar, you want 120-pixels wide, so if your picture is 1280 wide, make it a 10% stretch.

For a picture suitable for the club Photo Album, use a size from 360 up to 640 pixels wide.

2. Then save it as a JPEG type. On the File menu, click Save As. Change "save as type" option to JPEG.

Hello everyone
This may have been discussed a number of times before, but how do I post a pic of my datto for everyone to view on this website.
I have been also trying to change my Avatar from a smiley face to a pic of my 120y coupe, but it always says it's too big.
So how do I downsize my pic so that I will be able to put it on this site?

A step by step guide would be great.
As I would love for you all to see my pride and joy.
Do I have to have a special program for my computer to downsize the pic or what?

Please help out a fellow Datto nut post his pics. Please.
