I also had a go at changing the picture to enlarge but it does`nt work for me either. Have sent a message to GR asking if they can give advice on getting larger pics. Here`s hoping either wise I`ll have to delet them as well.

Genes Re have this annoying habit of programming amendments to the system but they never ask us first.

I have complained. My photos took ages to do too. Its madness. I will be leaving Genes if they dont correct it all.

if we correct their error now what guarentee have we they wont foul up again!

Exactly the same for me-so much time and effort wasted-you know what they say "If it ain't broke , don't mend it"-I was happy with the original format.

Some of my photos are messed up too. Why do they have to alter things and make them worse.

Having carefully and lovingly uploaded most of my precious photoes, I was delighted that they looked so good, perfectly framed. NOT ANY MORE! Since what I assume is an update of the photo area, all my photoes are messed up....part of heads/legs missing, half the face gone...when something worked so well, why on earth change it. I am really upset and would be grateful if anyone knows how to rectify this or must I redo and crop each photo and upload again? HELP PLEASE!!
