Hi Folks Just a quick hello, I'm a new member who lives in Sheffield, I own an e21 and an e34. The e21's a long term project the e34's a daily runabout. It's not perfect but it was bought as an introduction into the e34 range. Needless to say it hasn't dissapointed and I've now had it for 18 months. There is a possibility that we may be looking around for a tourer in the future as the addition of a Black Labrador to the family group doesn't quite fit the saloon profile |

Grahame That looks very nice indeed! Presumably the '1994' is a typo! Chris -------------

Try this free software guys.... PIXresizer, I use it to reduce the file size of pictures before you upload them. http://www.sixfiles.com/dbase/files/bluefive-software-pixresizer.html - http://www.sixfiles.com/dbase/files/bluefive-software-pixres izer.html Cheers

Or, if you're running Windows XP you don't need to. Microsoft Picture Manager has an export function. Open a picture, then select File and Export. Then, at the bottom of the export window on the far right, select Custom Resize. Type in the Height and Width in pixels and hey presto. You can use it to set any picture as an avatar too if you want to. Or, you'll usually find one of its inbuilt settings for export will get the picture to a size that'll upload (Web Large or E-mail small usually do it).
