You have to resize them with a proper graphics editor.

How? Which? Please give us clue R.

sorry to be a pain......

I've found some lovely piccys but cannot put them up, their saved as j-pegs..

You need to use something along the lines of Photoshop or similar.

Jackoutofhell · 14 Jun 2006, 11:02

Well, this seems like the pefect opportunity to promote an amazing, totally free graphics editor. If you're familar with Linux, then you're familar with the GNU project and probably familar with the GIMP. It's a powerful freeware application that I recommend to anyone, especially if you're having trouble getting a hold of a real copy of Photoshop. I wouldn't rate it's features over Photoshop, but it's certainly close, and a bit more powerful than the PaintShop Pro products. A Windows version is available, and the link is: http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/stable.html Of course, you can take or leave my recommendations. :)

Download both the runtime enviroment and the program itself. It's a very simple install process, and very useful. By the way, I'm a huge Linux freak, so you might want to keep that in mind. I'm running on Slackware right now. :)

Panic!

I´ve got a very very very important RTF document and I can´t find it anymore! It´s gone!
Haven´t got the time to produce it completely new!

What is the difference between IMAP and POP3? (I don't even know what those terms mean).

Which is better?

How do I authenticate an outgoing mail server?

And where did I leave my sledgehammer?

*AndyK* · 07 Jul 2006, 09:58

http://tis.tulane.edu/How_To/Configu...P3_or_IMAP.cfm
or
http://email.cityu.edu.hk/faq/popimap.htm

explains the differences between the two ... as for which is better, that really depends on your computer setup and your own needs.

Outgoing mail authentication depends on the SMTP server setup,

try this google search for more info ...

Your sledgehammer is in the fridge.

L96 · 07 Jul 2006, 10:18

AAAARGH!!! NO.

I am a computer illiterate technophobe. I don't understand any of that. I don't know what the terms mean, I don't know what the abbreviations mean, I don't understand the sentences. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND.

I have a website. It came with email addresses. I need to set one up to actually use, because the host will not allow email forwarding on a hosting service with provided emails. It wants me to autoconfigure Microsoft Outlook or Outlook Express for either IMAP or POP3 Access. I don't give a flying **** about meanings at this stage, I just need/want one that works. Once I figure that out, then I might move on to authentications. And if I configure that website email to my Outlook Express, won't that wipe out the email I have in my Outlook Express? I don't even know the difference between email and webmail.

Thank you for your help anyhow, Andy.

Could you please tell me whether it is possible for people to make polls. If so, could you tell how we do it please?

When you start a new thread...after the title and body of the message...you have an option down below to include the poll.

Try to start a new thread in testing area and look below this message box and look at all the options and you should see poll option.

I hope this helps.

Cheers Mszee!

My speakers are now playing up. Any sound that comes out of them begins to echo for a couple of seconds. I've tried chaing the speakers but it just sounds the same. Do you know what the problem might be. Thanks

mszee · 09 Jul 2006, 23:29

Speakers on your PC?

Sounds like a problem with sound card - built in audio...might be some process running on your PC and could be two processes running at the same time fighting for the use of the speakers...

Try to re-boot your computer and see if it helps - doesn't sound like a problem with speakers to me...
