Grim Up North 3,727 Posted May 19, 2017 20 hours ago, Sir Creep said: I try to find photos/images that are like 300x300 in size before attaching. I say that in light of ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ SC and all big photo people - you do know that you can resize the photos once you have pasted them into the post? So photo of Dietrich from above cut and pasted into this post - double click on photo gives you option to resize. Reduce width down to something sensible like 120, aspect box is ticked so photo retains it's integrity and hey presto Dietrich is now from Lilliput and not Jupiter. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
