Greg - what are the image size of the photos you posted? Pixel size I guess I should be more specific. What canvas size are good for wallpaper photos?
In my post "First Pics on Forum" are those big enough? Can I post larger files on photobucket (is that the paid membership?)
Or if Melev or anyone else knows that would be great!!

You can right click on the photo and select properties-- that will tell you the image size. I made mine 1200 pixels wide but that is just a "big" picture, not a specific size if you know what I mean. Depending on your desktop resolution the picture may or may not fill your sceen. I started this thread way back when because I felt like small pictures lack impact- when you see a picutre that fills the screen it's a million times better... but of course there are trade-offs. The two that come to mind are bandwidth (download time and hd space) and the biggie- a large file is much more attractive to thieves

Lee, when I make "wallpaper" images, they used to be 1024 x 768. Now I make them 1280 x 960. I don't do it too often.
Photobucket is free, but the more people that view your image, the more bandwidth is consumed. You may discover too many large images will shut down your account until the new month when the numbers reset. A paid site will give you more flexibility. I've been paying $96 a year for the past few years and never worry about not having images display in any of my myriad of threads.

Hi Lee,
Photobucket is a free service, but I often see "Image Unavailable due to excess bandwidth usage" when a thread is viewed often, such as the one with the pictures from the Great Barrier Reef that had some videos included. They will be visible again on Feb 1 though.
My website is a click away, just click on the red house above. I have been using ipowerweb.com for my hosting needs for the past few years, but bluehost.com is probably even better. Two years' worth of hosting is $164, which is only $82 a year.
The new angled tank is still awaiting on my schedule to open up so I can get it completed.

Imageshack.us and Flickr.com are a couple other great sites for hosting. I think flickr has no limit on what you can put on there but don't quote me on that one.

I pay about $4 or $5 per month at www.godaddy.com.
