And you've put crosses next to them?

Sorry to sound dumb, but around 500 Munros a week are being added even at this time of year....

If it doesn't work, do you mind if I reset your password - and then log in as you? Once I've investigated I'll let you know the new password and then you can change it back to whatever you want.

If you have Microsoft Office then the Picture Manager makes it very simple. If not then google "online picture resize" and you'll have a host to choose from. The first on my list was http://www.picresize.com/ and if you click on the Quick Resize link (just below & right of the Browse button) you get to enter desired pixel size.

Sorry for missing this question. What program do you use on your PC to look at your photos? Nearly every program can resize them but if you let me know what you have I will try to give you some pointers.

Not quite sure what you are asking. Do you mean the maps shown in people's walk reports? If so, you just need to upload your GPS track file. The forum automatically puts a boot at the start of the track line or route.

On Microsoft Photo Gallery on my PC it has a 'resize' option under File. For an avatar, you need to resize to a max of 80 pixels wide.

If there is no such option you could always email me the pic, and I'll email it back to you in the smaller size :D

When looking at the walk descriptions and i click on the 'view/print map of this route' link the os map only shows the start point with the boot symbol but not the actual route. :(

Am i doing something wrong or have i changed a setting somewhere? :?

Hi RadMan

Can you let me know which map you are looking at, and what browser you are using?

Cheers

Very odd, works on our copy of IE8.

So if you go to:

You don't see the route line?

Nope, just the start point again.
If i click on the boot i get a little bubble pop up from it saying START and thats it.
I bet your now more confused than i am! :lol:
