now you need to resize it (about 120 pixels wide.)

Hi Maggie  :)
Re size it, say around 350-400 . Do this in what ever picture viewer you have .( irfanview or Adobe)
If you just resize one side the other will alter with it.
Save As (Whatever you are calling it)
Place it on the post as you did with the large version.
If it is the correct size, copy shortcut and  open up " my profile" Rootschat profile information. There is a space to allow you to paste the link (Back to the little picture)   it should then appear on you posts.
Hope this is clear ::)

Sorry, but .....  No, not 350-400 pixels !! 

Please keep all profile pictures around 100-120 pixels wide.
The bigger the piccie, the more needs to be downloaded everytime you select a page !!!

I know this is getting technical, but sometimes the crests (in KB, KiloBytes) take up more space than the replies on the topic  :(

Hi Maggie,

the address of the crest (above) is
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=86443.0;id=12270;image

the address of your profile pic is
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?action+dlattach;topic=86443.0;id=1270;image

looks like you missed a '2'  (should be 12270, not 1270)

Almost there  :)
