    Afternoon all and nice to meet you Flowerchild image.   Managed to do a bit of clearing outside this morning before the expected rain which has now arrived image

    Good to hear from Jo that she was having a lie in this morning image.

    Hope people won't start panic buying now after all these mad weather predictions - or at least kindly wait until I've done my weekly shop! image.

    OH still over-excited that Swansea beat Chelsea 2-0 last night - I do try my best to sound pleased about it image.

    B-jay-did you look at using photobucket?-it works quicker for me

    Is that men and balls again Caz?

    BJay - are you pictures quite large?  Do you know how to resize them?  They load much quicker if they are small.

    Hi Flower girl.

     I didn't think having nothing to say on this thread meant you can't join inimage

    I looked at photo bucket , that was it. No I don't know how to re-size them!

    Really I just go in panic mode if it's not straightforward. 

    On photobucket can I put my photos together to tell a 'story'? At moment some are saved to computer but OH has informed mr that Windows 7 is crap at what I want to do.

    Was wondering where Jo was, Never thought she would be tuckd up in bed.

    The reason why your photos took so long to upload is that they are very big pictures. They are 2Mbytes each. If you can resize them to something a lot smaller then the upload will be much quicker. I thought there was a limit to the size you are allowed to upload.

    Big pictures also make it slow for people to look at them, especially if they don't have a fast connection.

    Some of the images that Sam has uploaded, on that same page, are twice the size, almost 4Mbytes each!!!

    That page takes getting on for 12 seconds to load. If anyone has a dial-up connection, then that page will take forever to see.

    Bjay -with photobucket-you dont have to resize-just upload post the correct link an post that as an external link-quite happy to "talk" you through itimage

    You can link to a gallery if you want toimage

    Uploading 10mbytes of photos to Photobucket will take just the same time.

    BJ really needs to resize before uploading.

    You can resize in Windows by right clicking on the filename, and then OpenWith (and select) Paint.

    Then, in Paint, click Image, and there's a resize option.

    There are probably several other ways of resizing images too.

    You could alter the size of the pictures you take on your camera, in the settings Bjay, if you know how to do that?

    That sounds easier Becksimage.  Bet Jess would love a Fairy Villlage like that one.
