Hi Steve

You need to make sure that the link to the picture location is between img and /img in square brackets. Press return to leave a line or two between pictures and it should work ok.

Try using 'Paint' which is on most PCs with windows.

If you want to resize a pic which is on your pc, right click on the pic file, then click on 'open with' and select 'Paint'.

You can resize it using >'image' >'stretch skew' then select % you want.

I find that even if I just open a pic in Paint, then do a save, it reduces from about 520kb to about 120kb.

Another option, is to Google PIXresiser, you can download a free safe small programme that does it for you, I've been using it for about 2 years and never a speck of trouble. I also have fading hair and like things simple, this is ! Martin.

Steve,

If you have Microsoft Office you should have Microsoft Picture Manager. This has a 'Resize Tool', as does virtuallyall picture editing software. Picture Manager is easy to use:

Hi Steve

I too have hair loss and grey hair and struggle with technology but I found the freebee that Martin mentions is good and easy to use

it has to be easy for me to use

You were doing just fine , but with one or two pics you posted you had not copied the links correctly , the others were fine , Me personally I like the large pictures they give the detail , And the SOC are paying for the bandwidth so don't worry mate

Keep the picks coming
