I understand that not everyone is good at using computers. So I am asking that if you have any doubts about an image, and before you upload it to the server, please contact me I am online 24 hours 7 days even when I am not in front of the computer I get messages. I can help to resize your image.

 

If you do not want to ask for help to which I can fully understand.

 

The proper sizes are as follows if you have Adobe Fireworks or something similar, that used compression then 1024 x 768 is the absolute cut off and 800 x 600 is perfect the file size should be below One Hundred Kilobytes. If you can not do this. The server will go down for bandwidth usage. So as I go thru the forums on a daily basis and if you uploaded something that is big I will make it the right size and if I see it to much from the same person I will remove yout posts with a comment to fix the images then redo the post.

Fire and wind come from the sky, from the gods of the sky. But Crom is your god, Crom and he lives in the earth. Once, giants lived in the Earth, Conan. And in the darkness of chaos, they fooled Crom, and they took from him the enigma of steel. Crom was angered. And the Earth shook. Fire and wind struck down these giants, and they threw their bodies into the waters, but in their rage, the gods forgot the secret of steel and left it on the battlefield. We who found it are just men. Not gods. Not giants. Just men. The secret of steel has always carried with it a mystery. You must learn its riddle, Conan. You must learn its discipline. For no one - no one in this world can you trust. Not men, not women, not beasts.

Thanks to a few individuales, who have looked high and low on the web for noew tools to help those who cannot afford the software for resizing images.

 

This one is from Skip Williams, so everyone please thank him for looking for these tools.

consider adding this to your post about image resizing.

 

For WindowsXP users the easiest way to adequately resize images for the forum is to install the Microsoft PowerToys Image Resizer
