Tommy, that works, but you're killing the poor fellas like wdchuck that are still on dial up.
If you use windows xp, search for power toys image resizer. It will make an option to resize pics appear when you right click on the picture. That way you can take them all at high resolution, and just resize them to post online. There is a similar working patch for windows 7 that i use, but I don't have the name of it handy, post back if you need it.
Otherwise there are lots of programs available to resize pictures, I just don't have experience with them.
Once again, the dialup guys will thank you if you resize them to the "small" or 640x480 setting, it will keep them down to about 100K or less, and for most pics that's plenty of detail for an internet picture.
If ya need more help, just holler and I'll do what I can.
That's what I have to do to upload to photobucket.
A third party site, like photobucket also has resizing tools.
Once you get the hang of it, it goes fast.
you can set your camera to take pictures that are best sized for the net.
this allows you to skip photo bucket and load directly to a forum.
even with cable or dsl pictures that are too big are a PITA to look at anyway.
the administrator IMO should set the site up to prohibit pictures that are to large.

wdchuck,
what I should have said is that some folk load pictures that are so large that looking at them is not possible without a very large monitor. I just skip over to the next post.
There's plenty of software available to re-size. It's another step, re-set your camera for email pictures and the work is done. Just my opinion.
Later,
Tom
Thank-youI use microsoft image resizer. It is a windows program so it runs without problems on Windows XP. All I have to do is rightclick on a pic and choose resize. It makes a smaller pic and adds it to the folder that the original is in. Here is the link.http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/Downloads/powertoys/Xppowertoys.mspx
