O.K.
Open your pic in paint and from the image pulldown menu select stretch/skew and enter equal percentages that would reduce your image to under 500x500 pixels. Example: if your image is 2000x2000 dpi you would enter 25% in each field to get a resulting image of 500x500 dpi. Then (in the thread) click on manage attachments under additional options and upload it to your post.

For an avatar just shrink the photo to 100x100 dpi or go to http://www.gravatar.com/default.php
and they will convert it for use on any board via link.
