I haven't figured it out, but I did it once on the other site. I went to Flickr - and re-sized it there, but when I saved it back to my computer, it was still too big. How do I do this?
Also, do we have to lose our old rank?

Lizzie try this:
If you have Microsoft office put the mouse pointer over the image and click the right button. Click the option "open with" and a menu should display. Click the option "Microsoft Office Picture manager" and the software should open. On the top toolbar there is a "Edit_pictures" button, click on it. On the right you should see a menu, go to Change Picture Size and click on "Resize" then you can do a "custom width x height" and enter 150 on width (the other will automatically adjust, but change it if its still bigger than 150), then hit the save button and you're done!. WARNING: make sure to work on a copy of the original picture b/c once you save it there is nothing you can do to go back to the original size.
Let me know if works. Oh, and yes we lost our rank

Hi all, I know what you mean, I had just become a PYT, and it wasn't easy getting there, lol, as I have a hard time reading a lot of words on screen for long periods of time. Oh well, at least we have a new place to talk now.

OMG I've done it every which way - still no copy & paste! Once again, please for the technically-challenged: I right click and select: copy? copy shortcut? save target as? huh ? Now I'm right-clicking on the smiley itself, right? Am I using any of the buttons above the posting box? Like Img or URL?
Once I do it, I'll be like - WTF took you so long! lol

click on "copy image location". then click "img" and paste the image location between the brackets, without spaces. It won't work if there is a space between the url and the brackets.
