having problems getting a pic on my posts

[BigThunder]

yes, I'm computer illiterate. I want to put a cute little picture at the bottom of my posts so I went into the user CP section, found it easily (i think) & did the "browse" button & found the pic. I tried two different ones & they both said "image too big must be 100 x 100 pixels or 97.7KB). Now I don't know what this means. Am I able to change these things once a pic has been taken??? Please help.

Well, in the most basic of terms it means that your picture is too large and you will need to resize it before you can post it. If you have some "photo shop" software, you can use it to make the picture smaller. Also, if the photo is saved as a .bmp file, resaving it as a .jpg will normally make it smaller.

Ok, this is a test to see if I got it on here.

wdwgrandma, I went in & copied the original & made the copy smaller & it did upload on the webpage listed as my profile picture. But it didn't come up on my post. Am i uploading it into the wrong area?? Any further help is greatly appreciated

Yes. Your profile is different to your signature. Your profile picture will show up in your profile only.
To get a picture in your signature you need to upload it to a website, then put that website url in your signature.

When you create a post (GO ADVANCED), under where you type look for MANAGE ATTACHMENTS. This is where you go to find your picture to upload it.

Ok, wdwgrandma, I'm trying this again. Here's hoping it works!

wow, that's itty bitty. And it's at the beginning of my post, not at the end?? :(
