Hi Brian
With regard to the horizontal photo size being 200 x 150 - which is fine for photos on the website pages.
Please advise what dimensions should be used for the vertical photo? so it doesn't distort (for the members photos).
Thanks
Jackie

You need to resize the photo to 200 wide by 150 high. You can do that using a photo editing software, by inserting the portrait format onto a landscape background.

The photo size is the photo size. 200px wide by 150px tall.
You can use a picture editor (Microsoft Paint for example) and take your original picture and resize it. Unfortunately any resizing from a portrait mode to a landscape mode (which in essence is what the 200px wide x 150px tall is) will distort the photo. If you use a size different than the specified, the picture will be distorted.
To make the best kind of picture, you can use one of two approaches:
1. Take a new picture and crop it to be 200x150.
2. Take an existing portrait picture and scale it to 150px high. That will probably leave it less than 200px wide. Take the scaled picture and paste it into a new image that is 200px wide by 150px tall. For an example see my picture. That process will take an image editor a bit better than MS Paint (although it can be done).
Hope this clears things up a bit.
