I have to go to bed as I can't keep awake! Will look for your reply in the morning sra... thanks for looking into it for me. I tried a search for another site for resizing but the one I came up with wouldn't work either.

I am having problems with www.gifworks.com at the moment. I used this site a couple of weeks ago to resize my gif down to the desired size, however, as my gif is slightly bigger than the latest size needed by the site to function properly i have tried to use the site again and it wont let me resize it. I can get as far as Edit, and Resize but it wont let me get any further than this as the next menu wont highlight for me to click it. Any ideas as to where else i can find another site that will resize/crop it for me? I tried doing it though photobucket but you cant get the exact size.

I found this yesterday Judi, and I was getting as far as Edit/Resize, but it would highlight any options for me. Then realised, I hadn't retrieved my picture first!!! D'oh.

Do you have a pop-up stopper? I found if I temporarily disabled mine then it worked fine? (Took me ages and much frustration to work that one out )

I don't have a problem with gifworks

The link I gave in the first post for editing jpgs can do gifs as well but the results arn't always as good.

If you want to try downloading sofware, Photoplus has the ability to resize and edit gifs but it can be quite complicated and it doesn't like some gifs for some reason (never tried that actual link myself as I got a copy from somewhere else)

I am embarressed to admit, i didnt the same thing as you. I hadnt remembered to retreive the picture.:o

Yes i can honestely say the pop up stopped me too, however, when i switched the speakers on my pc, i heard the sound that goes with it every time it supresses the pop up. Unfortunately i hadnt thought of that before.:o

Sra, many thanks for the gif resize, i couldnt be bothered to fiddle round again, so i pinched yours. However, when i try and upload it to my control panel this is what i got. I give up!!
