OK, I went to Format at the top and followed the directions, but all I get is that box that says "your image here". What did I do wrong? I have such a cute signature that I'd like to use, but I can't seem to get it to work. Here, I'll show you what I get!

Hiya I can help.

When you posted your message did you put the slash with the word image or clipart? If you write image and put the name of you picture in brackets, it will take you to another screen, which allows you to browse your hard drive. Just choose your picture and it will upload it.
Give it another try!!

Hi Robin - go to the "Members Room"
There is "The Spam Room" located there.
Tess has posted in "EZ lessons in posting fonts, images & links"
Lesson 3 has how to post "images"
(I'm assuming its an "image" you are trying to post not "clipart"?)
See if that helps

Rabernet, when you see that you hit post again, and it will take you to a screen where you can browse and download your image. It took me forever!! Good luck!

Thank you all! I actually figured it out, and tried to cancel this post, but I guess it went through! Maybe it will help others that were having problems too! Look, I'll show you! (grin)

Will someone please tell me how to resize an image (*.jpg or *.gif) in "Paint?" I've done this before, but tonight it's not working. I don't know what steps I've left out, & it's driving me crazy! Thanks. bluecat

I don't know about "Paint", but you can go to gifworks.com and use the free re-sizing and effects tool. Extremely easy and fun. :)

Rabernet & Sia: You can resize your image in MS Paint, but you can only 'save' as a .bmp file, which is fine UNLESS you want to upload into TVCH...incompatible formats.

To resize it and do just about anything else you want to it, invest in good image editing software OR do what babyruth said OR send your images to me, tell me what you want and I'll be more than happy to 'redo' them.

*1) *Resized through MSPaint. Saved as transparent .gif in PSP. Size 4K

*2) *Resized with MSPaint. Saved as .jpeg in PSP. Size 4K

*3) *Redone using Jasc PaintShopPro & Jasc Animation Shop. Size 10K

Babyruth,

THANK YOU!!!!! I LOVE this site, and never knew of it! Since I don't have Paintworks or anything like it, it's a godsend!

AuntBob,

Thank you as well! Unfortunately I don't have any of those programs.

Here's my cutie pie signature that I resized in gifworks.com

I have a question...does anyone know how to make desktop wallpaper? I would really like to know how to do that.

Rabernet - really cute gif...I love that

When all else fails, here's some patented computer advice:

Straberry: The easiest way to turn something into wallpaper is to load it in MS Paint, make any changes you need to there, then save it in the C:\Windows folder. Once you have saved it, right-click on your desktop, left-click on properties, left-click on 'Desktop' and scroll through the wallpapers to find the file you just saved. It 'should' appear in the list.

Strawberry: Make whatever montage you want in MSPaint, when you are finished, save it as above. Works the same. Also, if you are running Windows/XP, there is a built-in screensaver that lets you use a collection of pictures for a slide-show as a screensaver.

Babyruth, THANKS! I think that worked. I didn't know that gifworks existed! Testing:

I didn't know it existed, either!! I found it while looking up some help for Rabernet.
:) YAY!! No more "too big" images!

LOL, I couldn't upload it because it was TOO BIG; that was why I had to resize it!
