How to resize your pictures
Most people putting up pics for the first time find that they have no idea what size the pic should be. Generally they post up a pic that is massive & it takes a month of Sundays for the forum to load the thread for others. So, here is the easiest way I have found to resize your pic to a reasonable forum size.
Download this & install it (follow the prompts) Its a Micro$oft product & it is legit & free. It is also a very small download.
Clicky -> Image Resizer
Then once it has installed, all you need to do to resize your pic is to right click on it on your pc & select 'resize image' from the right click menu
It will give you a list of options of what sizes you would like, I find the 'medium' size (800 x 600) is good for forum use. Once done, a copy of your pic will appear in the same folder as the original pic, just resized & renamed accordingly.
Cheers,
Ben

Sorry to Hijack this Ben, but there's a much easier way
Just open the picture with paint (Start menu, accessories, paint)
Go to "Image" on top toolbar, then "Stretch/Skew"
And if the picture is massive, just change it to like 70%, not only will it shrink the picture down, it'll reduce the size of it from 500kbs to like 80kbs.
Good old paint

If you are resizing a pic to use as your Avatar, it will need to be much smaller than 800x600. Try resizing to a width of around 120 (and corresponding proportional height).

Ben, maybe you should change this to "How to resize your images and host them on the Internet" step-by-step for the noobs... Quite a few seem to have problems...
Better include how to add an image to their posts and avatars from a hosted image as well maybe ?
I'd do it, but you seem to have more spare time than me LOL
