dont use paint for image resizing it is very time consuming and you end up with a tiny pic when it works. use a differnt program that can change the quality. use the putfile.com or imageshack.com and you dont have to worry about size.
FYI I think pic upload is down again due to spamming
One or more of the images or attachments you uploaded exceeded the maximum allowable upload size (which is -1 kilobytes). These images or attachments have been removed from your post. If you would like to include images or attachments, upload new files after you make sure that the size is not greater than -1 kilobytes.
