[petty4243]

have tried posting pics of some various things recently... tried from 2 different laptops.... and a lan connected pc... photos taken from my cell, moved to a folder on puter then tried up loading..... keep getting this message

"Your submission could not be processed because a security token was missing.

my actions were... logging on to group, going to the forums/ tools section open general tools, then select start new thread... title thread... then select my attachments and wait....

I use a free program caller irfanview.....

You Tube is a wonderful resource these days to learn how to do just about anything, go there and type in a search for resizing photos using (your preferred program) and I'll bet you'll get a tutorial on how to do it.
