Re: (...)
Labs suggested pixxip.com, but it takes a terribly long time to load the pages (even though I no longer have to deal with dialup, some sites take just as long!). I do have a Flickr account which I resurrected, but can't figure out how to get the correct URL (with a .jpg suffix) to get the photos to show up of CAH.
Any ideas?
Okay, testing an idea with Shutterfly
Just can't figure out how to increase the size...

Ouch!! Sorry. The pic is really tiny and it resized the screen width so that you have to slide the horizontal bar to read your post. And that's a PITA.
I know someone (Labs?) posted a "How To" on putting up pics here.

Okay, that obviously didn't work. Looks like you're going to have to go a different direction.

I've never had any problems with Photobucket, have you tried it?

When I post pictures, which should be more often.
Sorry! I use Imgur.com. It's actually pretty user friendly and will allow you to select the size and use for your image pretty easily.
Maybe my (late) New Year resolution should be to post a photo at least once a week!

Thanks, I'm going to try a few more things (had a couple of glasses of wine, so it's questionable as to how tenacious I will be!).

I use Photobucket as well. I know Jean changed over to something else due to storage problems, but I haven't gotten there yet. So I hesitate to change to something new yet.

I've tried a few but I haven't found any that are as easy as Photobucket - altho, I might not have given them a proper chance.
I finally stayed with photobucket and since I have all my pictures saved in files on my computer, I just deleted some older albums to give me more room

The easiest and best USED to be ImageShack, but they changed. Never did like PhotoBucket: just found it to be a pain to use (this from the guy with 36 years of computer experience, LOL!). Flickr and Shutterfly are even worse (actually, Shutterfly wasn't designed for posting to forum-based websites).
What I've been using lately is Imgur, although it does have some limitations (not enough to affect my usage, but could affect those who would use it a lot more).
Regardless of which service you decide to try, it's often best to choose the sharing option that says "direct link." Otherwise, the "forum" or "bbcode" links provided may only be to tiny thumbnails that require forum readers to click on the thumbnail to view the full picture - on the service's website (where they can show you ads).

Labs, no matter what program is used, would it be helpful to edit the pictures as we download them and make them approx. 300-320 pixels??
That's the size I've been making mine that I'm using in ebooks.
