Avatars

[denisesjoy]

I have tried to put an avatar on, with no luck ........I think the problem is that the image is about 1Mb.
So how do I shrink it to the approx 6Kb.....which I think it requires me to do.
Another dumb question .how do I write in my boats type, name, where I live. added later GOT THAT DONE
BTW I now own what was once 'Rock the Boat'

Hi denisesjoy

Welcome aboard and I am sure you will enjoy Rocky's boat. Hope he sold you all the extras too.

To add your details go to the User Control Panel in the top left hand corner and click on it. In there you can add your details under edit profile
There is a program to make your pictures smaller in size and than you can add your avatar there as well. Do a search for PIXresizer in Google.

Lastly don't forget to join the MacGregor Yacht Association.

Yep Did get all the extras from Simon. I am very happy with the Mac ...
Got the location/ boat details sorted out......i will work on the picture later.
I have been trailer-sailing for the last 25 years, 2 clippers, Sonata 7, Alloora 7.2and an RL 28 (which will be for sale soon).

Haven't got it wet yet...very busy month with grandchildren, nephews and "other committments".

I am also involved in vintage cars and caravans...Well Classic really, but we call them 'vintage'...........Not trapped in the'60's....just taking day trips

There is a free program called IrfanView. Google for it. Use it to open your pics. When you
"save as" you can then decide how large you want your picture.
