    It is recommended that you resize your photos to 500 pixels wide or less before posting them on the forums. This helps visitors with slower download speeds and guarantees that they will fit within the page. Here are a few ways to resize your photos before posting.

    Thanks for following our guidelines!

    I'm afraid there is a limitation on photo size Sherry as it adds extra cost, both on bandwidth and server space. Plus larger photos take longer for slower internet connections to download so I tried to reach a happy medium.

    Another option for resizing your photos is IfranView...easy little free program.

    https://www.irfanview.com/

    It will give you a simple resize window as shown here in a screenshot from the website.

    I use another free app called Image Size, that’s very easy to use. You can also see your picture as its being re-sized.

    I use the free site IMGBB
    You can post pictures as large, as I have been doing, or "medium" like this as I should do and will try to remember.

    Or thumbnail.

    Experienced gambler here, and I have spent several seasons in online gambling. I learned discipline through wins and setbacks. Consistency became my main rule. Fast money rarely work. Practice always counts. Lately I had a strong run while playing online. I used my standard approach. Bet sizes stayed reasonable. The total started growing. It felt deserved. Chance was only a small part here lalabetlogin.com.

    After the result, I stayed focused. I checked the rules and conditions. The withdrawal process was smooth. Money arrived on time. That moment confirmed my approach. Control once again paid off.

    I share this as a honest case. This is not bragging. Online wins are possible. They require time. Smart play beats emotion. Steady thinking brings progress.

    My statistics professor taught us that professional (not me) gamblers win roughly 63% of the time. They live, if you call it that, on the difference. I have better odds in the garden though there is risk there as well, but nothing like gambling.

    I used to put loads of money that I couldn't afford into the slot machines. I'd win the jackpot (used to be £20) then I'd put it all back in and usually throw another tenner after it until I didn't have any money left.

    Then one day I won the jackpot, thought about what I usually did, put the money in my pocket, finished my pint and went down to Woolworths and bought my Daughter a Christmas present with the money.

    Never used them since and that must have been 30 years ago.

    Oh it does not. They were just spamming a bunch of threads because they like to work for little reward. Young people can be like that, lots of energy at first then they get a little sulky after their garden does not grow like they thought it would
