With pictures or photos stored on your computer (where-ever you've obtained them), re-sizing them is quite straightforward.

1.  Go to the folder containing the picture,
2. Left click once on the picture to select it,
3. Right click and from the menu select "open with",
4. Left click on "paint".

Paint programme opens with picture displayed.

5. In top menu, select "Image"
6. From drop down menu select "resize/skew"
7. In "Resize" box change horizontal and vertical boxes from 100% to, say, 50%
8. Click "OK" box to see result ~ if size looks about right, click top menu, file then save.

If size is not right for you, repeat steps 5 to 8, varying the percentage change until you have desired size.
Remember though, you must keep percentages the same or picture will become distorted.

The re-sized picture can then be uploaded to your reply box using the Photobucket icon in the usual way.

Good luck!

David

Zy I have no problems in re-sizing pictures. When I need to add a picture I add it in the normal way.
Then re-size it on the page before submitting By clicking on the picture and moving the corner and centre marks...Tony (potleek)

hahaha...just went in to change your font colour, Tony, but

yes, I have no problem either, but when David loaded Chrome for me to try to get back Edit facilities in the main post box, as was recommended by Aimoo to those affected after their last major shutdown, I couldn't change size on site, just as Maria and David can't with Chrome, that's way he posted these instuctions for Maria...and why I have removed Chrome from my pc, Zy
