People please keep your photo size in the region of 240x160 pixels when posting up on the forums and then add a link to the larger size if you would like people to see the pic larger.

You can download an image resizer to resize your photos; it's a free program and super easy to use.

If anyone needs help with this or has any questions,please just ask an admin or moderator for help smile

Trekkies, there is going to be one exception to the posting up of small pix, and that is in the Theme of The Week topic, where medium size is fine wink .._{makes it easier for the persons selecting the finalists.}
