LR90 Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Well I just open mine in MSPaint, shrink and resave them. Steve has put more detailed info in the Disco forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 (edited) On Photobucket tick the box under the picture, then click the 'EDIT' button above the picture, on the next page that appears there's 3 options IIRC, top one is 'Edit picture' 2nd is 'Resize' 3rd is 'rotate'. depending on the existing picture size shown above your picture, use the 50% button, that should resize it [reduce] enough to be forum friendly Edited January 10, 2006 by western Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthdicky Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 James, if you're on Windows XP download this (500kb click on it and select Run) from here. Adds another option to the right click menu and will quickly resize and make a copy of the original image at 640x480 which is ideal for on here.

LandyManLuke Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 I use the power toy, does the job nicely and easy to use, plus it's always there on the right click menu. Luke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogMonster Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 As already advised more info on the Discovery forum, I use 600x400 which is a good size for most pics and dialup friendly at about 50K per picture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
