Marty, I have sent you a PM on how I did it. I'm no 'puter expert but managed to fiddle around and do it. If it works we can post it here for all the other faceless poets to have a go!

If a girl can do it I'm sure you can too!

G;day Heather,

I'm using a Mac now (don't ask why) and I have no idea how to make the photo smaller. If I 'crop' it only shows a little bit of the photo. (maybe my left ear does show all you need to see) I can't find a resize command. Any clues? pm please.

Now if I sneak a long cable into the other room and connect up my old computer, I just may be able to do it.

Crop is not what you need Zondrae. The photo I used is cropped - it was taken from a group.

I can't speak for your computer, but for mine. I opened the photo and then went to Format and then Dimensions and was able to adjust the size of the pixels from there. I then had to save it as another name and that was the photo to upload (is that the right term?)

Hope that helps. You're a girl, you will figure it out!!

Heathe :)

I've already tried downsizing a photo - alas, did it about 6 sizes smaller, and still couldn't get it accepted. Never mind, better off I don't post one anyhow!!! :lol:

Try downsizing by pixels rather than inches or centimeters, that worked for me. I think the maximum allowed on any edge is 79 from memory, or it might be 76, it's in the instructions.

Edited to add ... actually it's 90.
