Aha, excellent points, thanks for the input guys! I had meant to put that photobucket can automatically resize but I suppose I "forgot":stoned:. Another great thing photobucket does is give you the option of linking a thumbnail, so you don't post the huge pic directly.

Also a photo resizing program can be quite handy for those that opt to use the forums picture manager, and they can be easily found through google for your specific operating system (XP, Vista, Mac), although when I was using Vista(switched to win 7), I had a program called prish image resizer, and I would recommend it to anyone with vista that was looking for something simple that does batches of files. I am assuming most digi cams these days are at least 10 megapixels, and usually output a file that would be ~4mb from the camera, but an image resizing program, even if you keep the initial image dimensions can cut the file size dramatically, which helps people like The Image Reaper conserve bandwidth
