For those that have never used Vbulletin forums before here's a little tutorial to show how to upload your pictures so others can view them, I'm using Adobe Photoshop but Paintshop Pro is very simular and you can download a free 30 day trial from www.jasc.com

First of all load up your paint program, then go to Open and browse for your picture, once loaded choose "Image" from the drop down then Image Size in Photoshop or Resize in Paintshop Pro

You will then have the rezise box

Make sure the "Constrain Proportions" box is tick (Photoshop) or "Maintain aspect ratio" (Paintshop Pro) then all you need to do is enter the width size making sure it's set to pixels and the height should correct it's self.

Not forgetting that the maximum picture size is 640x480 pixels then go to save-as and save as either a .jpg or .gif

Now you have your correct picture size it's time to upload it, on the forum start a new post as normal then once you have typed your text scroll down and you will see a "Manage Attachments" button

Click on that and a new window will open

Use the 'Browse' button to find the file you want to attach, then click 'Upload' to add it to this post.

Repeat this process until you have attached all the files you require.

If a file has the wrong size or file type you will get an error messsage

This will tell you if the file is wrong, correct it by making the adjustments required.

Once you are happy with your attachments, close the window that will bring you back to where you was posting.

The press Submit New Thread button and everything should be fine

Hope this help's people out, if you have any questions then you can send me a PM by clicking here or post in this thread.
