  Resizing photos
 

If you are a Stoxnet Supporter, you can upload images as attachments to your forum posts of up to around 2 megabytes in size. Members are limited to photo attachments to messages on the forum of 250 KB

All users can upload photos of up to 1.8MB provided that the images are not larger than 3200x3200 pixels. Photos from modern 4 or 5 megapixel digital cameras are sometimes over these limits, so if you'd like to share some of your photos on Stoxnet, you'll probably need to resize them. (If you have a 1, 2 or 3 megapixel camera the gallery should be able to accept your photos without resizing them.)

If you don't want to do anything other than resizing pictures, most image editing programs are overkill. Microsoft has a free Powertool plugin for Windows XP which can help.

Assuming you have Windows XP, download and install the Image Resizer Powertoy from Microsoft.The Powertoy is quick to download and install, and is very safe. (There is information about it and other Powertoys at this page)

Once installed, right click on your photo (or select lots of photos and right click on the selection) and select Resize Pictures, then take your pick from the range of sizes.

If you are resizing a photo to attach to a message on the forum, select Medium or Large.

If you are resizing a photo to upload to the gallery, you can select Large or Custom (click Advanced to see the Custom option) and enter the dimensions of 3200x3200.
