    Hi, I'm trying to upload a pic for ID purposes but keep getting this error message;

    'The uploaded file is too large for the server to process'

    Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? :pcthwack:

      Walter, if you have Paint on your computer (which comes as standard with windows) you don't need anything else. Open the image file, select resize and (despite being able to use 800 pixels) choose 700 pixels wide as screenshot below. The reason I use 700 pixels is that although 800 is permitted, it doesn't initially display full width and requires clicking on.

      paint resize.png

      Using Windows, Paint is accessed by selecting Start>All Programs>Accessories>Paint

      It follows that you can get 2 pics to display side by side by slecting 350 pixels width

        Hi ziggy & cheers for the link. I put my picture in there but wasn't sure what to do with it then. Sorry, I'm useless at stuff like this, no idea why it wont work as normal.

        Sorry, I'm hopeless at anything like this :pcthwack:
