that was quick. Well I've got them saved through photoshop but need to know the next steps. I also see you have a pic of a car on your user ID on the left of the screen too, how do all those lil perks work?

Hi mate, welcome. When you click 'reply' to a post, you can include pictures in the Attatchment bit. For your avatar go into your Profile at the top of the screen and select your car!

JPG should be fine, they have to be under 70kb tho.

Right click on the file, go down to properties and it will tell you how big the file is in Kilobytes
