m3nac3,
I think you will have to download and install an image resizing tool, I think RC is where I got the link to download some free software to do this. Now, after I installed, I simply right click on the pic, then have an "image resizer" option, then simply adjust the size to below 50KB. It was a pain in the a-- to set up but easy to use now....

I use photobucket.com and they do the work for you. It's free!!

Photobucket also.

i like to resize them myself before uploading simply by right clicking on the image file.. choosing Edit, then in Paint click on Image then Stretch/Skew or CTRL-W. By using the vert/horiz boxes in the stretch/skew window you can downsize a pic by it's %. You can scale them down by half its size by putting in 50% on each box.
