    Default Resizing a photo

    How do you resize a photo on your computer so it can be successively uploaded?

    Dave-

    Which operating system and version are you using? (e.g., Windows 7, Windows 10, etc.)

    If one has a MacBook Pro, bring the photo up in "Preview" and adjust the size ...

    Dave-

    The native photo editing app in Windows 10 is called, originally enough, Photo, and I assume that's the one that opens when you double click on any given photo. Once it opens up, you'll notice three dots in the upper right hand corner. If you click on those dots, one of your options will be "Resize" as shown in the attached image. Click on that and experiment with the different sizes and which produces the result you want. I wound up having to go to the custom size selection for this one. Hope that helps.

    Thanks John. I think I've got it now. One odd thing though. When I upload the resized photo to the board I just get what looks like a photo but it's actually just shows a square with a big question mark in it. The title is correct and the actual picture shows up correctly when I post it.

    Hmmm, that doesn't sound familiar. Seems like it could be something with the board software, perhaps the admin or someone else can chime in?
