Yay Dotty - how are you honey cor blimey the snow has been pants today although junior is very happy they closed his school just before midday which in his eyes was miles to late and then a couple of his friends popped around and they spent the afternoon having snowball fights and on the PS heaven as far as they are concerned. Lulucat and Debs, ignore my last post as Lulucat answered the question in a previous post great to catch up with you all again

Right then, where it says about new messages at the top, press the little wheelnut thing to the right of it and then press profile and then avatar. You can then download from your computer. But it only accepts a very small size, so make it as small as you can. Had several goes before I got Lulu, but here she is

Thanks Lules found it just have to find my avatar now.

Hi Babs!! Bet all the kids are happy with being off school and glad junior was having fun.

It's great to be on here although I've just spent ages trying to upload an avatar but everything's too big.

Debs DD may be excited but that's understandable, I've a 28 year old who can't wait for the sleigh she's bought to be delivered.

That is genius!

[Mrs007]

Debs it beats the trays she and her mad friends used as sleighs last year on her Marina!

Dot, junior is majorly happy as are we, we have just had a call too to say that Juniors bowls competition has been cancelled tomorrow so OH and I have opened a bottle of vino and know that tomorrow and Sunday are both going to be really relaxing days oh bliss

[Mrs007]

Babs it's definitely like the good old days.......Friday evening and a glass or two of vino, have a lovely weekend, it's off to a good start.

[The Invigilator]

Most definitely Dot - I may have been a little economical with the truth as OH and I have just started our second bottle - oh I love lazy Friday evenings

[Lulucat]

A night for celebrating, as with a bit of luck, we can get lots of people back together again. Are we ready to put the 'address' on other places to get people to 'come back'?

[Mrs007]

I'm not on Facebook either Lulu and I'd like to email the address to those on my P&O Friends profile, I'm sure everyone will be glad to be able to catch up with each other.

It's really nice to see you and I'm very impressed you managed to upload Lulu as your avatar, I'm still trying to figure out how to 'shrink' a photo.

[The Invigilator]

Lulucat it would be great to get as many of the P&O posters back together as we can I am just so happy to be chatting with some of the gang again the more the merrier

[Debbie W]

I couldn't shrink a photo small enough either Dot. I had to go with a Googled image instead.

[Mrs007]

Nope, still can't figure it out Debs.

[Lulucat]

I can save photos in a few sizes - have you checked that you can't do this on your computer? I have small, medium and large images - surely others have the same

[Debbie W]

Yes I can do this on my pooter but the smallest size (and lowest quality setting) was still too large file size wise.

[The Invigilator]

Oh pants Debs and Lulucat it's all beyond me but then I am a techie wally think I will have to get my IT expert (12 year old son) onto it tomorrow. In the meantime I am logging off for now - lovely to be chatting with you all again. Have a lovely evening night night one and all xxxx

[Mrs007]

Night Babs, it's been great chatting again.

Lulu and Debs, I've been cropping different photies but can't manage to get them under the 6.00 limit. Anywho, I'll keep playing around with it, I may get lucky.

Hi Dot I asked David if it was ok to give the link to P&O friends and he said yes ... the more the merrier, so get e-mailing I'm having problems too with in an avatar ( size ) but we'll get there in the end !!

[JenniC]

Thanks Dot for sending the link to me. Thanks David for all your hard work - looks great - here's hoping you get lots of members

[Romig1]

I'm in....at last!

Thank you David.

[Romig1]

There are free resizing tools on t'internet...I've used them before, but don't know if they can shrink sufficiently.

[Mrs007]

Hi Jenni glad you've been able to join David's new forum, it really does look good, hopefully now you can keep in touch with some of others on your cruise in February, if the forum stays offline.

Dancing Queen hope you manage to upload your avatar successfully and thanks for checking with David.

Romig.............better late than never.

Oooh I do like this 'someone's posted since you wrote your reply' thingy, I've tried cropping a picture on Google until there's only a teeny weeny bit of it left and it's always over the file allowance, are there other ways to make it smaller Romig

Also managed to crop picture - but cannot get it down to 6KB or under - smallest so far is 34Kb!!! - Any tips?/

[Romig1]

I'm no expert regarding resizing...I think I've just been lucky so far...

I'll have a play around and try and load one myself today.

Oh, and I've emailed Jacksparrow and sent her the link to this forum - don't know if anyone already had.

[The Invigilator]

Good morning everyone

Romig why is it that you are always talking about sizes?

Have a great weekend everyone x
