Good Morning Jason. I hate to break the vintage trend but some of us aren't so lucky, so I will just have to go with this one.

Dan, not every day is a vintage day for me either. That one is quite stunning. I love green accents.

That's gorgeous, but would look even MORE gorgeous with a black and tan NATO/Zulu on it!

Yes, but since downloading photos takes up lots of bandwidth using photobucket or it's equivalent, makes it easier to submit pics.
Occasionally I download from my computer but try to use pb as much as I can.

Yes I have had the same problem. You have to reduce them in both pixel size and kb size. I had to take them under 600 pixels in order to get them to fit both catagories

Ok, it's now readily apparent that I have not much of a clue how to make these photos fit! Any tips will be appreciated.

I had a real difficult time also. You have to get into a photo editor of some kind. Then you have to re save your photos at a smaller pixel size. But even that may not be enough it the kb size is still too big. If the error message says the kb size is too big then you have to go back in and reduce the pixel size further. Or at least that is what I had to do. It appears that the photo size limits are much much smaller than before.

Been using pb as much as I can recently as well. Seems to work just fine most of the time.

Going with this one today - although I need to take a new photo or two...
