I use Shutterfly, mostly.

Thanks in advance.

To add a picture:

1 click "Manage Attachments" in the Additional Options (under your Reply to Thread box), or the little paperclip icon in the message toolbar.
2 - Click "Choose File" and this will allow you to add a file from your computer (or upload from a URL - I have not tried that yet).
3 - Click "Upload"

Once the upload is complete, the file name will be listed in the Manage Attachments box. It will then automatically be added below your post once you click "Submit Reply"

Of course, smaller files will upload much quicker and will be better for anyone on dial-up.


To see pictures (instead of a link to one), go to your User CP. Click "Edit Options" (under Settings & Options). Scroll down to the box that says "Thread Display Options" and check the box that says "Show Images." Scroll down to the bottom of that page and click save.

I keep mine to 500 pixels (on the long side). I dont think we have really set a size though.
