Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

OK, i did some "screen captres" - "print screens" and saved them to word pad and need to resize them to load up on a thread. How do i do it??
 
Best way is to right click the picture, go to Open With -> Paint. In Paint, go to the "Image" menu at the top, then sketch skew and in the two boxes where it says 100 drop that number down some till the pic is the size you want it. Then save it and tada, your good to go
 
Paint is really good for mangling pics. ;) You can get Irfanview for free and it is a lot better for resizing/cropping pics. (Save jpegs at 65%-75% quality and they should be good quality and small files.)

I will give it a try thanks. Do i need to load the "plug-ins" as well that i see on the download page?
 
Charlie, that program works great!!!!! Thanks. Now it is much easier to convert everything.

I use another program for everything except viewing pics and doing batch resizing, so I haven't had any need for the plugins. I'm not even sure what all of them do. ;)
