This is probably because you are resizing instead of cropping. If you merely resize the picture, it may become distorted because the aspect ratio is off. If you crop it to the exact size, it should come out correctly. If this is all gobbledygook to you, someone is gonna have to do it for you.

People can feel free to email potential profile pictures to me. I can crop them, resize them, etc.
Just be sure to put something like "SG Picture" in the subject line so I don't think it's spam, and please keep them at a reasonable size so my mailbox doesn't spit at you. Send only ONE picture.
.
i was going to say the same as Sorcha, im not doing much work for the next couple of days and as its what i do anyway feel free to email me your pics, but keep them under 300k in file size and include your member name in the email..
also if you ever see me you owe me a beer 
email them to sg@adickt.com

yes ma'am 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ok i used to be able to upload pics into threads really easy by going to the picture; right clicking it and hitting view source. then i would scroll down and find the jpg address that had the title of the pic i wanted. i would then of course copy that address and paste it in the thread with the img tags. now when i try to open it it's just blank... which i can completely understand and probably assume is for security reasons so people can see the site's source codes and stuff.
i only did it this way because EVERY single time i right click on a picture and go to the PROPERTIES it gives me an address but not one with the jpg attached to it. it's completely wrong. even if i add the jpg symbol on the end it doesn't work. the address the properties screen gives me looks like this: http://suicidegirls.com/girls/Alisa/pics/3258/1/
i can right click on the picture and open it in a new link and i can see the really long address that i know i need but it's only on the screen for a few seconds. and once the picture loads completely it doesn't show it ever again. no matter how many times i try to open it in a new link.
aarrgghh it's drives me insane that i can't figure it out. please help!!! i guess it's no big deal but i hate having to bug a member or an SG all the time asking them to post them for me. thanks to anyone who can tell me what i'm doing wrong. it's probably something really easy that i'm just not looking in the right place or something.

Are you using Mozilla? Mozilla gives two URL's. Copy the bottom one.

nope i'm not... just plain ol windows 98 and i'm on a laptop computer does that make a difference? oh and it is the same computer that i was using before.
awww fuck it. every bit of advice i'm getting isn't working. and i'm looking in all the places that's been suggested; but the address that's given to me in the properties pop-up window isn't attached with a jpg. at the end of it at all. and i'm not getting the address from the top of the new link window, either.

im trying2post a pic in my journal entry&ive done what the fequently asked questions told me2& its just coming up as a little box with a red cross in it, help!
i'll try it on here2show what i mean.......
if you go to the image that you posted (http://uk.f250.mail.yahoo.com/ym/ShowLetter/Picture_059.jpg?) there is a message saying you've exceeded your limit or something like that? check it out, it looks like you need to take some action before they'll give you your pics back. otherwise you did it perfectly, it's yahoo's problem not yours.
EDIT!!
OH i get why. yahoo won't let you link images from your mail. you need to save that image to your computer and then upload it to your profile and then link it. does that make sense to you?

I just wanna put a picture from my "pics" into my journal entry 
Can someone explain how to do that in very plain English please (i.e speak slowly i'm a computer retard) ?! 
from what i unerstand (even though i can't find the right addresses) it's the same as posting them into board posts. but you just have to write out the [..img ] [... /img ] tags in front and behind the image jpg address. without the spaces of course.
if you can post in a thread you can do it in your journal. just right click on the picture and go to the properties tab and copy the jpg address into your journal.
good luck
