I was not thinking of dropping anyone yet, but I saw 3 people post on here that they had mailed and giving hints so I think they have the hang of it. That is what upset me.

There is a download you can get that will make resizing your
pictures MUCH easier. I have been using it for YEARS (or
since it came out for Windows XP).

It is really easy to use. After you download and install all
you have to do is RIGHT click on a picture and select the
"Resize Pictures" you will get a pop up window that will let
you select from one of THREE options OR you can even do
a custom resize. You can even select if you want it to resize
the original picture or make a resized copy.

Here is the LINK for downloading the program. ONLY download
IF you have Windows Vista or 7. If you are still using Windows XP
you will need to get the older version.

Here is the link for the XP version of the picture resizer
Good luck and I HOPE this may help some (or all) of you who
seem to be having troubles with resizing.

I would like to know if this helps anyone.


I have downloaded the program and I am going to try to post a picture to see what size it comes up.[ATTACH=CONFIG]282418[/ATTACH]

Scroll over all icon till you find it.It will say Image. then click on browse. click on your picture so it will show in the box next to browse.then click download then hit post quick reply. Goodluck Mary

lori i will do my best to remember to do pm's. though the wallpaper background color was changed a bit from the screaming white, the text colors are still playing havoc with my eyes so i am on the board for very small snippets of time now. plus i keep getting booted or signed off the board.

just as an fyi to all, i have toggled my settings many a time but nothing has met my satisfaction to date. the board screen colors are much to difficult on my eyes for me to be on here any length of time. i am still in the swap and will be mailing my packages on nov 14th, the deadline date.

Has anyone noticed that you can no longer tell if someone is online?

I think that blue/green dot next to the person's name shows if they are on or not. If it's plain without any color, then they're not.
