: How to shrink your pic's so they will post
: Rocky's 'Rents August 07, 2005, 07:16:41 PM
My husband is a real computer geek so he helps me out with alot of stuff I don't know. If you have gotten a red "x" where you thought you posted a picture for your avatar or any picture, it's probably because you never shrunk the pic and it's too big.(byte-wise)
Here's a super easy way to shrink them.  After you have downloaded your pics put your pointer over the picture you want and right click on your mouse. A box of choices will open, go down to "send to" and pick "mail recipient" This will automatically bring up a box that asks you if you want to make your picture "smaller", choose yes. Then email it to yourself.  Open the email and right click on the picture in the email and now choose "save as" and send it to your desktop or a folder that you know you can find. (I know you're thinking - she said this is easy? ???) Now when you post and you have the browse box there, browse until you find it and now that it is smaller, it will post quickly and no more red "x's". Now, if you have no idea what I'm talking about, find a 10 year old kid - they know more than any adult I know about computers!!!! ;)

But, if you if that way, it uses the Gates algorythim to parse the the intersecting vectors, causing the nanodrive function to operate at warp 5, rather than at the accellerated gigabyte function that most Microsoft operating systems are designed for. And EVERYONE know what would happen then!

There's another way that's even easier if you have Windows.  Go to this site

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx

On the right hand side, about half way down, you'll see a program called "Image Resizer".  If you DL that, whenever you want to resize a pic, just right click on it, Hit "Resize Pictures", and then choose "Small".  It will create a Copy of the original with Small added to the name.  You can also do several photos at once by hilighting them, then right clicking.

I LOVE this site, but Michael is such a GEEK he expects everyone to understand what is going through his mind.
He's a Greyhound.
I'm a Basset Hound.
