I'll figure out how to post a pic sooner or later.

Looks like you are still having trouble. I will try to help.

Save your image on your computers hard drive (usually C

, but make sure it is saved as a .jpg. If you are not sure you should have an application under the accesories section of windows called Paint. Open up paint and then open up the picture. Paint will let you resize it and do a save as ".jpg"

Chances are you are having difficulty because the picture is too large. Resize in Paint and save and this should solve the problem.

Anyway, go to your thread and hit the reply button. At the bottom you will see a place to attach files. Hit the browse button and find where you saved the picture. Submit your reply and it should appear.

Glad to see another Missourian!

Chucker,

I had problems the first time also. As 71Stepside says, get your picture size down. The site only accepts lower resolution pictures, for good reasons. I do not know how to resize in paint, so just take a picture that is 480x640 and they will post just fine.

Good luck.

1971stepside how do you nresize in paint. i have been trying to but can't find a way?

Ah, you are right! I'm sorry. You have to crop the pictures down in Paint. Do you have MS Photo Editor on your machine by chance? If so, it has a drop down for resizing. If not, open it in Paint and try croping it down if possible. Sorry for the confusion. You could always email me your pic and I can resize it for you.
