I'll have to investigate but I'm at a "disadvantage"...VERY "technically challenged"! SO FAR, I'm still able to use Photobucket but fear my time is coming . I have years and years of photos on Snapfish and use Photobucket for Disboards, having moved my Disney (and some personal) photos to that site as well as from my computer. There aren't enough hours in the day though to transfer my older ones...almost 10 years worth of photos for Disboards on Photobucket.
I have found that to be true as well. I right click on the picture I want to post.. click edit - click resize about 50% and save and click ok. That works great and no more photobucket for me! yay!
