ok, well i looked at the fAQ on the forums, but they didnt help much. i try to upload pics using imageshack, but it says the file is too big, even when i make it tiny. i just can't seem to post pics, and i need some help

try trimming the picture to get rif of all unneccesary parts (i.e. taskbar, address bar etc.), then save as a png, then use image shack

Some graphics formats take up a LOT more space than others, so their file sizes are so big that graphics sites like image shack and photobucket won't accept them.

 

 

 

The coolest thing I've seen this year is a site that will convert your graphics images for FREE, don't even need to join as it's all browser based:

 

 

 

http://redux.imagemagick.org/MagickStud ... Studio.cgi

 

 

 

The controls are very simple.

 

 

 

Use the File - "Browse" button to find the file on your computer, then hit "View" button to see the upload.

 

 

 

Now click the "Output" tab at the top of the screen. On the next page, select a format from the scrolling menu (GIF is very compact, JPG is compact but may lose some resolution, PNG is another format many people like).

 

 

 

Then go down a little ways and press the "Output" button. The next page will show your file. Shift click on it to download (or click it to get a close look, then right click and Save image as ..).

 

 

 

Hope this helps.
