    Default re-sizing pics

    My apologies to the Fat Controllers (a reference to Thomas the Tank Engine not the horizontal size of our forum moderators, although....) if this has already been done or there is a link to this somewhere or if this is on the wrong forum....

    This link... Microsoft PowerToys for Windows XP

    ...will take you to a free download of a MS photo re-sizing program. It is very simple to use and will enable those contributing photos to make their pics smaller for the forum pages. Easily!
    www.youturn.tv is here

    That is the one I use...

    There is actually a Sticky Thread on how to do it on here somewhere.

    Have a look at this one, it links to others as well.

    That uses bandwidth & download quota.

    Once powertoys is installed, it is just a point & right click & pick the size you want.
    Even easier that sending it in an e-mail & then saving it out of the e-mail.
