I am pleased to announce the opening of the Bimmerclassics vBGarage. This excellent feature will allow all our members to display their cars.

To access this feature click on the User CP link in the navbar. Click on Edit vBGarage, fill in your relevant information and upload your photos. Photo uploads are limited to 6 pictures and a total disk space of 1MB.

Enjoy!

Nice new feature!

If I can figure out how to down-size my pictures, I'll post my car up there. All the pictures I have are over 1mb each.
What's the easiest way to get them down to 150kb each ?

Do you have Photoshop?

I just used windows picture viewer there is an edit option on the bottom bar(beside the disk and the ? icon) then it will open in paint. then go to image, and strech/ skew and change the percentage of it, go down slowly because it looks really bad if you try to go back up

Bring your picture into Photoshop. Go to Image --> Image Size...Enter 800 pixels for the width and make sure Constrain Proportions is checked and hit Ok. Go to File --> Save for Web and save it to your folder.

I think lots of my pictures are already 800 pixels, but I will try the save for web feature. Thanks!

Into the User CP, on the left will be a bar that says "settings and options" The fourth or so option down should be Edit vBGarage. If you still can't find it anywhere PM Motoyen
