Profile Picture Posting problems

Post by Novice » Tue Jan 08, 2019 7:49 pm

I have tried till i am blue in the face and cant get file smaller than 100X75 which wont cut it. This is much worse than the old forum for posting pictures and I thought it was bad. Perhaps Chris can post detailed instructions on how to do it in different formats. Been better if profiles could have been transfered to new forum. :oops:

If you're using Windows, look for PAINT. Load up your pic and in the upper left is a resize button, select 90pix, then save it.

Hope this helps, others have suggestions in another post topic.

Win 10. Paint drove me nuts. Microsofft store offers free resizer apps. I picked & downloaded the first one. (Image Resizer) .Gives one dimention which you have to lower to around 73. Save it. when it appears in your pic file it'll tell you the length & width pixels. Both under 90 & your in. Regular pic posting doesn't require any thing to be done it's only for the avitar photo. I went as wild as you but it's OK now.
Forget everything you thought you knew.

Charlie B.Many Thanks! PROBLEM SOLVED. Image resizer did the trick once I found which file the resized photo went to. I didn't want to push My luck and try to crop the picture in order to make the car bigger. REAL PAIN IN THE BUTT! But it's done and I learned a lot. :D
