				| 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.
