These are assumptions, since I haven't been here since the beginning.....
I think the MSN album site was created for two reasons:
a) to chat
b) to post more/larger photos easier than here
Wouldn't it be easier/nicer/safer if the changes to the House & Home forums could include a chatroom (moderated or not) and also change the photo posting parameters?
Then we wouldn't have members having to create these things elsewhere that gradually get turned into something we'd all rather not be a part of?
I suppose my timing for this post is unfortunate since the H&H improvements are being unveiled right away and these changes won't be able to be tossed in with the rest on such short notice.
Would this be something the forum members and H&H staff would interested in though?

I'll try that with husband supervision so I don't screw it up and abandon it in frustration. hehe

if you click on the browse button below when you find the pic that you wanna post...right click on it and scroll down to ''open with''...after that open it with msn paint....it will open up a new window showing your pic...then click on ''images'' then from that click on ''stretch/skew'' change the first two boxes to 20%...and then under the ''images'' button again click on ''attributes'' and check to make sure that the numbers fall into the 350 x 600 requirements....then save your pic...it will shrink your pic a bit but it works...Obella told me to do it that way and i haven't any problems since...hope i makes sense...
I tried about a billion times yesterday to post a photo, even my husband tried to help... and he's not even a computer doofus.
We still couldn't get it.
oh well, fingers crossed it'll be one of the new changes on the weekend

For people like me that just can't figure this picture posting on this site but have no problem on the MSN site I would love to be able to post pictures here. i am now to freaked out to post them anywhere else.
do have until the weekend...i'm sure philb could slip it in there...lol...or maybe later when they have to make improvements...
idea kipper as every chat and pictures should be monitored....that would be a nice change
