Can someone help me??? I tried posting twice and both times, my pics are HUGE. Suggestions? (I even went into a program and cropped them down....)

Sorry...I can't help, but I can resize your picture on the other thread for you. I use photobucket http://photobucket.com/

If you are using a pc like me, I open them using Paint, then use the Image:stretch/skew and shrink them to 25 percent. The I "save as" whatever the picture is called with tsb at the end and put them in a TSB folder on my computer. Does that help?

I use this free program from Microsoft. Download it, right-click, resize. Very easy. Has to be for me to be able to operate it.

cropping does not help you have to resize in whatever program you have for your photos. I have microsoft picture it:)

If you already have a Photobucket account, it might be easiest to just use that.

If you use Windows XP, the above-cited resizer is great.

If you use Windows Vista (Grrrr!), I found this resizer (VSO Image Rsizer) that is very easy to use and works well for sizing to place on TSB (select the "640x480" size) http://www.vso-software.fr/products/image_resizer/image_resizer.php

Both resizers are free and easy to use. :thumbsup
