Hi
I am new here and having trouble with uploading my profile pic on the main site of collarme. When the pic is uploaded from my computer it is huge on my profile, how can I make the picture smaller so that it is not taking up the entire screen? I have even resized the pic and it still comes out huge on my profile after uploading it. Thanks.

If you have the basic Paint program, you can easily resize it. To see if you have paint,
go to Start - Accessories - and you should see Paint there.
Now, go to the profile pic you want to post and open it using Paint.
Then while in Paint, click Image in the toolbar, and then Stretch and Skew.
Depending on how big it is, reduce both the height in width in 20% increments to get it to the size you want.
This means in the empty boxes for Width and Height, put 80.

Or...upload it here, and I will resize and post back.

Thank you poise. I will try it first with Paint, if it does not work for me I will post it here for you to resize. :-)

Poise, I resized it though paint by 20% increments but it is still huge when I upload it on CM in my profile. May I send you the pic through email to you?

I didnt see anything wrong with the size of your photo. Ir came across to me as 135 x 167. The
picture in my profile is 266 x 192, just to give you an idea. I haev a feeling the picture only looks big to you
as you are viewing it in Edit Profile mode, and not in the normal manner of looking at profiles (if that makes sense)
Are you getting and error message when you upload it?
