I am new and can't seem to get my pics up for profile or avatar. What is the secret to getting the small amount of pixels?

Welcome CandyCorn, you need photo editing software to resize the image. I think you might be able to do it in Microsoft Paint

I use Irfanview, a free downloadable program. It will allow you to change the pixel size. You may also need to change to a jpeg if it is currently a bitmap image.
Hope that helps.

I couldn't get paint to resize but it works to change the type of image.

Welcome! In paint you have to go under Attributes and then Strech/Skew. You can strech it based on percentage and as long as you do the horizontal and vertical the same it just shrinks the pic.

Thanks Katie,
I'll try that, but I will have to shrink it alot. I hope you can still see it:)

You can download this program
Visualizer Photo Resizer (http://www.freeimagebrowser.com/)

It will compress the picture and make the file size smaller.

For the avatar, you will have to crop the picture to 160 pixels x 160 pixels.

Pie, She has not been very active lately...since I put in the strawberry, she seems to be slugish and her eyes are cloudy. Maybe she is going to shed soon, but I will get the pic for you as soon as I can....AND YES, she will be my ONLY cornsnake, I want to spoil her, not like you and having 70+ SNAKES:)
LOVE YOU,
MOM

Lol, yeah it sounds like she'll shed soon.. I suspect you'll take lots of pictures and keep the shed in a scrapbook somewhere, lol... oh, and forum, welcome to my mom.. haha

Yeah, you just wanted them all to know where I got my pretty baby...Phoebe
Let me know when your first batch hatches, so I can get her a boyfriend:)

Boy from "ONLY snake" to "get her a boyfriend" in two posts! Looks like a family addiction to me :D.

Oh you should see her Beanie Baby Collection.. haha.. she's more obsessive-compulsive than I am.. lol. She knows she won't stop at just one.. though granted, she probably won't take it as far as I have.. hehe.. though you never know what 'just two' can lead to.. o.O

Ok you two...ganging up on me? I must admit they are addictive:) What can you say when you look into their cute, beady little eyes? So maybe two snakes, but that's it!!!!


At least until they multiply:)

It's all my daughters fault anyway...it always is, and so were the beanie babies!!!
Love you!

And yes, I will be keeping a scrapbook for her, pics, sheds etc. Your just jealous of your new baby sister:)
Love you lots,
Mom

You are right ULTIMITTONE...a family addiction:)
But it's my daughters fault:)

Ok, so the McDonalds toys and the barbies may have been my fault too, but not the coin collection!! That's sooo all you.. lol And the Strawberrys too.. lol, love you mom, sorry about all the :-offtopic stuff :X :sidestep:

Pie, Did you ever find out what the marks on her belly are? Is she Motley Amel or a freak from a bad mateing? Either way...she's my baby:) I just fed her last night, so I'll wait a few days and get a belly shot for you...See what Kathy says about them, and who was that guy I got her from...Z??? Thanks, I love her:)

I don't know his name, but he's the non-eater king.. he's there at the Tucson show every year with a bunch of non-eaters that usually eat on the first try.. great deal.. anyways, she's an Amel Motley, but she has a belly checker or two.. apparently it's not too common, but I guess I'm the only one who thinks they're really cool.. lol.We'll put her with Racer in a few years and get some Amel Motley-Stripes.. :)

She shed this morning, and it was harder on me than it was for her:) How long before I should feed her again after a shed? Got nice pieces for her scrapbook:) You've got to get me a book so I don't freak out so much:)
Call me...
