How do you guys get the neat little pictures of yourself to appear with your posts? I took some screenshots of my little elf face and saved them in the EQ screenshots folder. I opened them and sized them to 85 x 85 like it says, but when I try to upload them here on the site where it says to, I get an error message which says it's not a valid picture file.
Is it because EQ saves screenshots as .bmp files? If so, how do I convert what I've saved to a format that the site will accept?
Any help will be appreciated.

You should have Microsoft

You should have Microsoft Paint installed. Go to Start -> Run and type in mspaint.exe It should then allow you to open your saved .bmp then do a save as and save it as a jpeg. It should let you upload it then.
