How do I make pictures into thumbnails.

I found this site http://photobucket.com/

I figured that the site would automatically resize pic into thumbnail and I could just post it but of course not.

Too complicated.

Just:
Open the pic in MSPaint
Go to Image/Attributes
Type in the new dimentions for the thumbnail
Go to File/Save As and name it yourpic_thumb.jpg or something similar
Upload both pics
Type this in the forum:
Code:
[url=http://address to big pic][img]http://address to small pic[/img][/url]


That should do it.
