I can't figure out how to post pictures to the Gallery or post an avatar.

My camera won't make small enough pictures.

Any suggestions?

Tony:

You need to resize the pictures before posting them. You can do that with a graphic program. If you don't have one, you can download a free one here:

This is a free, small, and easy-to-use program (reply if you need help on how to use it).

They can also be resized effectively in "Windows Paint" ... using Windows XP

I did what Gramps suggested and open my Paint program in Win XP. I opened the file and went attributes and played with the width and height until I had the file to 503KB less than the 512 max. I went to my Gallery and tried to upload a file. I browsed to the picture and it still wouldn't upload.

Any suggestions?

I downloaded the free tucows program and WOW that is one great program. It showed me in plain English, USA English, sorry Gramps how to change the size. I uploaded a picture in my gallery called Saturdays shave. I took a photo of what I will shave with today.

Thanks to everyone for all your help.

I love that Irfan program. I have been using it for more than 5 years. It is very simple, and supports many file types.
