I know you all like playing with your "new toys" but will you please do so in the correct place. Many thanks

I just tried it but kept getting an error message saying the file is too big so I presume when using the Browse option you still need to resize. What size is everybody using?

I didn't think to look at the size of my graphic (43.1Kb), which is also a GIF, not the usual JPG

For those who are resizing pictures I found a handy little bit of software - Free Picture Resizer by freepicturesolutions.com. I got it from Download.com. It was quicker and easier than resizr.com. Just be careful when installing it that you don't inadvertently agree to instal a host of other bits and bobs with it. Do a custom instal of the program and untick the options for different browsers etc.
Other than that it seems to work fine.

Trish liked the idea of resizr.com until I told her it only worked on pictures

[Stephen]

I use Paint Shop Pro for resizing

You're going to get booted out of school if you keep playing with Sir's toys .....

On the active topics page the old system changed the colour of the threads as you read them, the new one does not seem to have this feature, anyone found anything similar on the new one?

Using the site with my desktop PC I can click on the 'Board Index' icon and then access the sub menus, but not on my iPad. I click on the 'Board Index' icon and the 'Forum' drop down menu appears and that's all, no sub menus.

This is now fixed

[Dark Knight]

Well done blue Imp

Jo - it happened just after I made an entry on a thread and I immediately thought OMG, what have I done.

Is this the time to say 'we didn't have this problem on the old thread'
