*** Please note that due to the amount of images uploaded and their respective file sizes, images may need to be resized in order to appear on the site. There are two free image resizing programs that can be downloaded from Microsoft PowerToys for Windows XP (to download, scroll down to the 'Image Resizer' menu item), as well as a similar version to support non-XP and 64-bit versions of Windows including 2000, Vista and 7 available here. Once downloaded, right click on the image(s) you'd like to resize and select 'Resize Pictures' on the menu. A screen will prompt you to select a size (we recommend 'Large'); upon selection click 'OK' and the image will be automatically resized (a file with the same name containing (Large) after the title of the original file will appear - these are the images that can now be used to upload to your region's photo gallery).
