Welcome to the forum Jason :-) Do post some pictures of your beastie - there's a link on how to do it - James (Hot66) always knows it off by heart - but basically you need to create an account with Photobucket or Flickr.

Enjoy

Actually resize images to suit their (bandwidth)

I adapt by sitting either closer or further away

but then for ease my chair has wheels fitted to enable this


well done Jason anyway

We just need to resize your Avatar a little now :wink: I've deleted it for the time being. Can you resize yours smaller and then upload to avoid making any thread you post on too wide - many thanks.
