you could use the strech function in ms paint, or if you have photoshop then you could try something in that.

i put them in my post by uploading them to Photobucket, and then copying the IMG tags provided.
There are rules, and then there are hundred dollar bills.

Thanks guys but i upload my photos to zSHARE like A-98 said but instead of photobucket i used zSHARE. The post i made is (how to mod a 1'' lawn genie sprinkler valve) it worked fine but the pics. are too big.

if you use image shack it will resize the to any size you want.

1) Open picture in paint. Not "microsoft picture veiwer" or whatever crap is the default program to run when you double click on something.
2) Navigate the menu: top bar/image/stretch-skew
3) Enter some values less than 100% in the stretch section.
4) SAVE AS a .jpg or a .png
