I've been trying for the last week to put an aviator in my profile.
Trouble is I'm more or less useless at computery things.
Whatever I try the software throws up its hands and tells me to burger off.
I have lots of pics on the computer, but all are too big and I can't find any simple way to make them small enough to suit the machinery.
On SBC I just put in the photobucket address and it worked, but seemingly not here
Am I the only one who is dim enough not to be able to manage it?

If you click on options in Photobucket (just above the browse boxes) you can select to upload your image avatar size (100x75 according to PB) or you could download something like Easy Thumbnails from
Fookes which gives a bit more control over the image - cropping etc.

Thanks Silkie
Its worked.
Wish I was clever like what you are
Thanks for the offer Nick, it seems Silkie has saved you a job at the same time as educating me.

Err
No - Actually its SWMBO chatting to the broker trying to beat down the price.
She usually starts gently and works her way up to physical intimidation.
Except with me of course - then she misses out the gentle bit.
