Posting a Picture on Profile

For some reason when I loaded my picture to my profile it took up the whole page and is HUGE. Does anyone know how to correct this problem? Thank you in advance for your help.

I think Harry has it set to reduce the image to a certain size. So you don't need to do anything

The original picture is way too big - it's something like 2200 x 1700 pixels, which is huge. What you see on your profile page is a thumbnail with a fixed size, but anyone clicking on "original picture" is going to see that huge file you uploaded.

You can use a free program like Irfanview (http://www.irfanview.com) to resize the original to something more manageable - maybe 640 x 480 pixels, which should fit comfortably on most screens. Doing this won't affect the thumbnail on your profile page, but it will make the "original picture" view more manageable - and save Harry some disk space.

I'm with BetsyMI!

You are very good looking, and you need to choose another photograph. The placement of the plant is very unfortunate.
