I completely understand about the size limit. I'm still on dialup and have a small laptop. Thank you for being so considerate and thinking about those of us who are still unable to get DSL or Cable and for understanding how inconvenient it is to deal with a stretched screen.

I don't think this kind of consideration should be considered archaic at all. And, for the record, I've seen some sites that have a 50kb limit! So, 100kb is generous for me (though I try to keep my pics between 30-40 kb anyway).

I didn't know that hotlinking from photobucket would cause such problems, though. My attempt at hotlinking messed up my post and made it vanish completely, though I've seen other pictures hotlinked, so I don't understand what happened.

When I uploaded a picture directly from my computer, it didn't give me a thumbnail, only a link. Is that the way it's supposed to be?
