given the number of times that people mention having trouble re-sizing their photos for inclusion in a gallery, how about posting a permanent link (not within a thread, but somewhere obvious) so that anyone can be directed to one of the free picture editing downloads? You might then also add a small set of instructions for that download.
If it were permanently available on the "Add Image" section of the Gallery for instance, this might avoid having to repeatedly explain the process!
What I am suggesting is a permanent link to Pixresizer (plus Photoshop, Picasa and any others) with some instructions as to how to use it, in the "Add Image" section, so that newcomers can sort their pictures out without having to ask how to do it.
I'm sure it is one of the reasons we aren't seeing many new galleries.
the point is to get the powers that be to place that in a suitable location so that it is available with one click for newcomers....who won't know of the existence of this thread and the many others like it.
