Ok, I save my pics as jpg's and bmp's. When I try jpg's, it says I can't use that file type. When I try jpg's, and always comes up with "this page cannot be displayed."



What gives? I sure would like to be able to do this myself. I know I can e-mail my pics to someone to post them for me, but I don't want to have to do that every time.

Ok, maybe it was too big.



When I open it in paint, and try to resize it, it just cuts off most the picture; it doesn't actually shrink the whole thing. How would I go about shrinking the picture?



well hot damn, I just realized that it worked in the 2nd gen section. Last night it kicked offline, so I wasn't sure if it went.

on the upper menu go to Image---- stretch/skew the instead of 100% you can put like 50% or less and it should resize it..

You have to upload them to a server, like the NP one I have access to through my Charter Account. Than you just copy the URL of the image and use the [IMG] tags in either the "quick reply" box or the "add reply" one.
