My first try at photobucket
It's a turtle we saw in Hawaii.

1. Much better than my first try
My picture was gigantic. To be kind to folks on dial-up I deleted it.

2. Mine is too small!
It was really easy to get this far, but I can't figure out how to make it larger!

I'm thinking that feature is not free. hmmm...

Anyone have any suggestions?

4. Do you use something like Picture It! ?
You paste your pic onto whatever sized page. Then when you Save As, there are also options there as to which size.

9. I think once you pick a size
and mke it smaller you can't change it. You can reload the picture and pick a larger size. You can go from big to small but not the other way around.

3. Did you ever email photobucket with a question?
Edited on Sat May-27-06 11:58 AM by KC2
I wonder how long it will take for them to write back.

I'm on my own..

But, I'm determined!

5. What format is your picture in?
Photobucket automatically resizes image files that are too large. If you covert your photo to a more compressed format, such as .jpg, before uploading it to photobucket it will probably show up larger.

7. Thanks
Out of desperation, I asked my husband to help me. He told me that, too, but he won't help me...so, I shall check on how to do all of this later.

I really was born in the wrong year- it's not cool for me to say I'm too old for computers (because I'm not), but I don't know how to use them. :cry:

8. OMG!

I'm going to scream! My husband is now trying to tell me I don't understand what "size" means! I had to bite my tongue on that one.

Apparently we use jpg...and they are the correct "size."

I think this is his little 21st-century domination over women! But, I am going to figure it out if it kills me!



Edit: I emailed photobucket 2 hours ago. Photobucket..where are you? I don't have the patience for this..

10. Well, photobucket.com wrote me back
they told me to go to account options and change it under size...to "try the maximum"...
so, I did it, and guess what? AAARRRGGGH!!!!!

Well, I only got to sneak in here between errands. I guess I get to have this aggravate me all day, until I can get back to it.

Grrrr...

My husband told me, in passing, that "the size" (he emphasized the word so much I wanted to...never mind) of our pictures is too large, and I have to use "a tool." But, he says I'm wasting time and he won't help me with it. AAARRRRRRGGGGH!
