Well, I finally found the place to go to for help!  I didn't know this was here and finally stumbled onto it.   

Everyone has been really helpful and jumped right in here for me but I still cannot figure out this uploading picture thing.  WHAT am I doing wrong!?  The only way I've found to upload from my computer is to resize the pixels on my pics and that screws up the quality of them, plus means I have to redo each and every pic I upload, have a separate file for it, etc and that is very time consuming.  There MUST be a better, easier way that I haven't found yet. 

Plus I have only found one picture on my computer that will upload for my signature picture...the rest all tell me they are the wrong size - too tall, too wide, the list is endless of the messages it gives me of why it won't work. 

Since uploding pics from my computer appears to be a lifetime project to get on here, I tried uploading from my online photo storage site...I have both photobucket and fotki but fotki is the one I mainly use and where all of my halloween pics are.  No matter what code I use there, I get the same thing.  It always appears to be uploading but hangs there forever - after fifteen to twenty minutes I lose patience and close it out so don't know how long it would actually take to upload one pic or if it would eventually give me some sort of message or what. 

So HOW on earth do you get photos here?!  I've been told that if I upload them from photobucket (fotki does the same as pb but in a different way) that they are already resized but that doesn't appear to work from my experience unless it takes hours to upload one pic that way and I don't have the patience for that.  PLEASE send in the troops here and help me.... 

Thanks in advance.

Ok first off...

 how fast is your internet?

Do you have dialup, dsl, cable modem, or Satellite?

If you have dialup... let the snail races begin!

Any pictures regardless of size takes a bit to upload from your home computer. I know that if you don't resize your pictures before uploading them to Photobucket, they do it for you (but, it takes longer). Resize your pictures from the origional if doing a direct upload to hauntspace. Make sure that your pictures are a decent size so, everyone can view them. I've had good luck with keeping them around 300 mb.

Note- When I first started uploading pictures, I noticed it was taking awhile even with the lower tier dsl. So I upgraded my service to the mid tier, & have been very happy with it.

Thanks for your reply Haunty.  I have DSL for my internet and I have a very, very fast processor and lots of RAM on my computer.  Yeah, I upload pics at least once a week, often times more, to my fotki site so I know it can take a while but for one picture at a time it never takes fifteen minutes or longer.  I have tried everything here that I have ever used at many other sites to upload pics and it just doesn't work here.  So of course that means that there is a different system here that I'm unaware of and can't for the life of me figure out.  Guess I'll keep plugging away but it still seems to me there should be something better than what I'm doing...

Guess I'm lucky,my digital camera has its own enhance settings to resize!!Otherwise I'd be lost!!
