Thanks for the tip on IrfanView. I think it looks a little better than before and was a lot easier to use. I do think something a little bigger would be better, but all in all I think the changes are better and the pages do seem to load faster.

Downloaded IrfanView. Works great. I am happy. I will be happier if I can find a way to get the pic to be above or under the text not next to it.

This is one way to make it look better. String the text lines together forcing the picture to the next line.

JaycoFan, I had my sig set up the same way--with the TT and TV on separate lines. I combined both lines so that the pic had to be forced to the next line. There is probably another way to do it, but I don't know about that yet.

check out the website of www.IrfanView.com but as the original program was written by an Austrian in deutsch, the download is via www.tucows.com As I said, it is free though they do accept donations. I have been using it for several years so if you have any questions, send me a message.

Admin has corrected the issue of where the picture is placed. It will now appear below the text.

I checked out the www.giftools.com DavidG recommends but IrfanView has it beat too as after making changes, a second window opens to easily change the compression to reduce the kb's when saving it.


Well, I finally got around to downloading this Irfanview program and it seems to work pretty good! Took me a few tries to see what it would do with different settings, but I'm happy with the results. Adding to my list of photo editing utilities.

I've been using it a few years now and it is my default picture viewer for all picture formats including .bmp's.
I think the biggest advantage is its "wysiwyg" image or what you see is what you get. All of the other graphic programs I have used, take your picture and reduce it to fit their screen opening whereas this will show it all from a thumbnal to an 8x10. I also use it to upload from my camera too for that reason.

I have used it in conjunction with MS Paint and today discovered a new Paint program and posted the information in "download a new and supercharged Paint". If it is anything of an improvement over Paint as stated, I will be one very happy guy

The help text (and error message) says the limit is 100 high x 500 wide but it would not accept my picture at 100. I cut my picture down to 70 high which it accepted. 70 sure seems small. This will be my first post with the new picture so I'll see how it looks.

Hum, I guess it is so small I can't even see it

On Edit:
I went back in and deleted, added it and now it is working.

Does anyone have an idea why my 70 pixel high picture is shorter than everyone else's picture? I double checked it with another program and both say it is 70 high.
