Dear all

As I'm sure many of you have seen, you can add a nice little picture to your Practical Motorhome profile. Thing is, the picture must be 30kb or less - which is very small.

If you want a picture on your profile but don't want to spend too long editing images, I've used the shrinkpictures.com website. You simply upload an image, it shrinks it and turns it into a square that will fit the box on the site. Then you download the small version of the picture back. I've done it several times - it works and hasn't downloaded anything nasty to my computer. Click here to go there

 

Let's see those pictures!

Nice one Nigel - too many people don't have their pictures on here yet - let's admire you all!

Now - can we have an easy guide to making our avatars better looking? You and I might both benefit ...Laughing

Drat!

Now we've all got to turn our monitors sideways to see what you really look like!
