When you upload the photo to photobucket (unless you have pro), there's a sizer beneath the box. You can pre-select sizes (medium generally works best if you don't like huge pages, occasionally large) before you upload so all of your pictures come up that same size.
OR... once your photo has been uploaded and you see it in your album, there should be a link to edit the photo. Click on that and find resize in the basic tab and use the slider to select your photo size. Make sure to save. This second one doesn't always work so I use the first just to be sure.
Here's an example of a medium (320x240) sized photo:

And here is a large (640x480) sized photo (sorry if the page stretches):

Two final notes: 1) make sure to put a space between the links of the photos. And B) If you don't already know, you can copy the IMG code of the photo on photobucket and paste it in the post.
Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.

Thanks, you are so sweet for helping...I am doing what you say but it doesn't want to re-size the photo's we already have in photobucket so I am going to try and put new ones in tonight . I appreciate the help and will probably need you again if I can't get it.

You are forgiven
"kicking it"...the bucket ???
You are invited to breakfast-lunch or dinner anytime

 

[faerieprincess]

Kicking the bucket yup.

my boss is currently on vacation in Mexico, and traditionally every time he leaves town people start dying in droves. It's very weird and disconcerting. However, he has to go out of town every couple of months just to get away, since he never ever takes a day off otherwise. But he literally no sooner leaves town than people start dying left, right and centre, which means the rest of us work our butts off when he's gone.... so he comes back and wonders why everyone's so grumpy

I can see needing a break from your business! It must get depressing after a while. A good friend of DH's from college is a mortian now, I give him a lot of credit!

I hope you don't to swamped!!

 

[faerieprincess]

Well, it *can* be depressing, but luckily most of the people who pass away are older - and while it's sad to think that they're someone's grandma or something, you still feel like they had a long life. It's the babies, children, teenagers, young parents that get to you. It can be very hard.

This *thread* is gonna get depressing if i keep talking about work, lol! Let's point out instead that Vickey is now less than 4 weeks to go!!!!!!

That's too weird....makes one wonder if it is because they really like you or they hate your boss
In all seriousness I have alot of respect for you and your job. And here is a big to get you through the week. How's about me sending take-out your way for dinner.

the gangs all here so now we can cool1:

I am so ready.

 

[vdarrell]

I still haven't been able to figure out how to shrink my pictures that I have in our photobucket, but am planning on taking pictures this week of Disney related things and will try posting them. Persistence will pay off.

Our weather is taking a turn it is getting cold down to 26* tonight.
I hate winter weather here in Ohio.

How is everyone else's weather?
It has been a very looooooooooooong day.

I have been checking out airfare for March and June of 2009 to see if it might be do-able with the new 4 plus 3 free deal. Plus we just got my Delta companion fly free voucher in the mail today. Maybe just maybe

 

[vdarrell]

Hey what happened to my countdown ticker ?? Who took my ticker now come on I need to see my ticker say 4 weeks.
28 more days

*looks up guiltily from the bowl of cereal she's calling dinner at 9.45pm...*
You're so sweet

i'm not sure what it is. He's the BIG boss, the owner of the company, the head honcho, the big cheese, the j*ck****.... oops that last one kind of slipped in. He's a very public figure (if our city had royalty, he'd be the crown prince) and EVERYone seems to want a piece of him. So he has to go out of town to have even one day's peace and quiet. i certainly don't miss him when he's gone, but it's a very weird trend that as soon as he leaves, people start dying. i lost count of how many files i did between yesterday and today. At least 10. And my immediate boss, the office manager, did a bunch of files today, too. Probably 5. So that's 15 dead people in about 48 hours! That's a LOT! Usually it's more like 3-4 in 48 hours. There's only 200,000 people in the city for goodness' sake! i sure hope people are shagging like bunnies to make up for the death wave!!

Thank goodness he doesn't take of much or there would be a less populated city.

Here's praying that Canada has a cold winter and everyone takes time to warm up,that should help the population. I know we expect a run on babies here in Ohio (May and June) due to the Hurricane Storm we had in Sept. and alot of us had no electricity for anywhere from 2-14 days. There was no t.v., so they had to do something to pass the time
Poor baby eating cereal for dinner.

 

[vdarrell]

Where oh where is my countdown ticker...???????

I miss it.

 

[mickeysmyboy]

That's bizarre!! Where did the ticker go?!

Here ticker, ticker!!!! Come home ticker!!! ​

If it helps at all, I find webshots a lot easier to use then photobucket for posting pics on the boards. You can click a box and the picture is converted to the size you want most of my pictures are 425, the smaller ones, like the one of me with the lightup mickey ears, are 200.

It's gotten cold here too! It was 28 this morning! I'm not big on cold either! I just say a little prayer everyday tht it doesn't snow January 3rd!

less then a month!!!! YIIIPPPPEEEE!

 

[faerieprincess]

i can still see your ticker just fine, Vickey, it says 3 weeks and 5 days i'm not sure why you can't see it?

Cereal for dinner's not so bad... especially so late at night, it fills you up but is gentle on the digestion

My ticker came home....I can see it
Webshots??????please explain to the computer illiterate
We not only have colder weather but it just started sleeting.
It better not even think about snowing on Dec.7th either.

I can see it now...but honestly it wasn't there last night or this morning there was only a little box with an x in it.

As long as you like cereal then it's okay. We do give our older patients oatmeal or a bowl of cereal late at night if they are hungry because it isn't as harsh on there reflux syndrome.
