Colonet Flowers/Photobucket Nightmare
I'm doing this post partially as a test because Photobucket's new settings erased my automatic image re-size option. I just uploaded 70 photos to
post here and they're all saying they're 1024Xwhatever instead of 800. Biggest epic fail of a website upgrade ever!!!!
Here goes nothing:

So does this appear too big on your screens? Looks fine on mine, but I got a big one. =)

Hi Jon, yup... the already set up photos are the same, but when you add photos to your album you now (until they add upload options again) need to
resize each photo... put your mouse on the album thump pic, a gear will appear in the corner, mouse on that, and you get a menu... click edit. Click
Resize (top row of edit options)... on the width field only enter 800 or 640 (depending if you want full page or just large size photos here. The
height figure changes automatically to match the width. Click Apply, check the box: 'replace original', click Save! The 1024 wide image on Photobucket
is now at 800 or 640 pixels to fit nice here.

Here's the resized:
This new flaw on Photobucket is disgusting. How could they let a product this flawed be released onto their website?
Too bad, I really wanted to post my trip to Ojo de Liebre today.
No way will I resize all of these one by one.
Until they fix the site, here's a taste of the whale we named "Taxi":

Thanks for the confirmation Bob! As we passed I told the kids that was Mustard. Glad to know I was right!

Resized looks perfect... and it seems most Nomads don't have an issue with scrolling to the right to see the over-size photos or reading the text? The
smaller size is nice for viewing/ reading... thanks Jon!
I am disappointed they don't have the upload options either... but they did say more features will be added...???

I just was asked to take a survey on Photobucket and boy did I let them have it. =)

Picassa ? sp? I suppose there are a lot of other photo hosting sites... but I already have thousands on Photobucket... so would like to keep it the
same... It isn't too bad to resize each photo, just a few more steps before sharing on Nomad... and they will likely add the Upload options to their
new site (I hope)... so they upload already reduced to fit this forum.

I am one of the Nomads who definitely DOES have an issue with scrolling to the right on a web page. Many of us have laptops with regular sized
screens, so itīs extremely annoying and tedious to have to scroll to the right on that string of photos that someone posts without having resized. It
also makes it impossible to see the entire photo on the screen without scrolling up and down as well. I usually skip those posts all together,
missing out I am sure on some fantastic photos when I do, but itīs not worth the work and wear-tear on my hand and wrist.
I very much appreciate those who take the time to resize their photos, and I do it myself, so that we can all enjoy the viewing.
Hope Photobucket fixes the problem soon. Flickr works well for me.

I really dislike horizontal scrolling, especially when reading text. I use a netbook (11 inch screen) and a 1024 width photo results in the horizontal
scroll bar. Thanks to those that resize to 800 pixels.
I use picasa http://picasa.google.com/ to store my photos.
BTW, when the horizontal scroll bar appears I use the browser zoom out to get rid of it. It makes it tough to read the text though.

OK so I recently also got fed up with photobucket and searched for an online FREE alternative like I used to have and this is what I have downloaded:
http://www.pictureresize.com
Let's see if I can post one and you can tell me if it is the appropriate size. I resize right on my screen and rename the photo, so I know it is the
smaller version. Hang on .....
NOPE. No go. I don't know how to then get the URL ... sorry. maybe someone else will be able to figure it out.

Good luck Blanca.
I recommend everyone upgrade their monitors. =) I have no issue with the larger photos on my desktop, laptop, or iPhone....
......and that iPhone screen is tiny.
Hope to post my whale trip report soon.

When I went to the www.picturesize.com an ad for century 21 came up.
I know that Shari uses http://picasa.google.com
And I see that SFandH uses it also.
When I stayed at Shari's last time I watched her use picasa like Steve Jobs used to use Apple. I felt like I needed a fire extinguisher at any time
watching her use the keyboard as it was just at a smoke point.
That chick is quick!
I have a problem with MSN and HOTMAIL (seems that the gurus at Apple and the Microsoft retail stores are unable to figure it out (runs like molasses),
so I'm thinking of changing browsers to either Chrome or Firefox. Both work fine, but Hotmail has all my passwords in it's autofill memory, and I
would have to start over again.
The advantage of CHROME is that there are a lot of extra apps maximized for chrome.
