Hi, Not sure if i am doing anything wrong here, but i can't upload my image. I have placed the image in my photo archive (although it took several attempts ??) Anyway, i then copy and pasted the URL into my Avatar profile area, but still no picture. The photo is a Jpeg at just under 80KB (So it well under 150KB) but it won't have it......................HELP !!!!! Please.

you have [/img] on the end of your uploaded url. Remove it and you should see this:

Tiger - Engine
Tiger - Engine


.... which is much, much too big!!!!!

ok, i get the jist of now. Thank you for your help, I just need to make it smaller now. Cheers.

Now, chuck it in Paint, and use the stretch/skew tool to drop its size if you don't have any other way of doing it.

Job now appears to be a 'guddun'

All done, I used Corel to make it whatever size i wanted. Not been on here that long, so still getting familiar with bits n pieces. Everyone is really helpful though, and it don't take long to get a reply neither. Thanks again.
