It just keeps getting better. I recently bought a new laptop running Windows 10. I downloaded an app called "resize crop share email" which makes sizing pictures even easier. Just open the app, select the photos and select the size you want. done.
Then within that app you can share those photos. Well, I discovered that imgur has an app so I downloaded it. So after sizing the photos, select share and imgur and the photos are uploaded to imgur.
Then to post them on the forum just open imgur and do what I described in my first post in this thread.
Thanks Photobucket for going belly up and making my life easier. I live in a rural area with my internet through my local phone company I checked my upload speed and it s a measly 0.34 mbps. Before when I would upload full size photos to photobucket I would start the upload and come back 10 minutes later and maybe it would be done. Now it's literally seconds. I just opened the sizing app, selected 4 photos, sized them, uploaded to imgur, created the forum links copied and pasted into a test post in less than one minute!
This sizing app doesn't have an option for 800 X 600 so I chose 640 X 480. Still provides a nice size photo for posting.
All four photos were sized at the same time, already selected for upload to imgur, when on imgur just select those four photos, create all 4 links at the same time, copy all 4 at the same time and post. No more one photo at a time.
