i been having a lot of trouble with uploading pics that i have taken of random things like snowmen lol and other stuff...i was wondering....cant the pictures automatically be formatted to that size...i.e if it was a jpg but when you went to upload it then it would be the size allocated. and also why is it a rectangle...every picture that i have uploaded successfully has been distorted...its too fat or too thin and its just doing my head in
and why cant the thread title be less than 12 characters?

Good questions.

I reckon nick just wanted the picture uploading feature released instead of delaying it further.

I think you have to crop your image 120 X 160, then upload it, if it is too big a file, print screen and cut out the picture preview and save it in a new paint doc and voila.

Sounds a pain but i found it to be easy.

coolio...thanks mr_mcquiston...i will have a try at that
