I have pics to post but they are way too big. What program do you use to resize the pics?? I've tried to use Microsoft Paint but it isn't working, it cuts off the pics instead of shrinking them.

Try using your scanning program. I have an HP ScanJet 3400C (old one) and it will let me resize before I print the picture. You could print out your picture, then put it in the scanner to resize. I suppose some of the photo programs have sizing also.

Here is a site to resize your photos for posting them. I use it all the time.

If you have 'windows' package you can visit their website and the programme is a free 'add on', you then only have to right click on an image then select resize from the drop down menu, I use it all the time here and for emailing etc.!! Good luck :D

I use Microsoft Paint to resize my photos.

I use the Image option and "stretch/skew" selection. Then I type in 20 in the vertical and horizontal box to reduce the image to 20 percent.

You'll see what I mean. It's easy.

Cordelia, I use Microsoft Paint also, using the 20 percent scew both vertically and horizontally, then resave it to my pictures.

You guys are the absolute best :D I checked out the resize it website and that definitely is a keeper. I also tried the Paint and it works wonderfully. I was using Paint but I was going under Image then Attributes and changing the pixels there and it would just cut off part of the pic instead of shrinking it. Thanks everyone for all your help.

Jackie - thanks so much - I will have the teen show me how to use that site, it looks so basic as if its all you need...
