Well son of a bitch, they are the same LOL

Except the second one uploaded a shit pot faster. Even on T1 the first one took a few seconds.

I dont see a problem. But what do I know, I just pay the bills around here :happy:

Here's how I resize most of the time unless I'm dicking around in Photoshop, then its a little different. But this works well and its pretty fast.

I use Microsoft Office to resize and fix up quick pics. My originals are usually larger than 6-8MB. Raw is even larger, 10-12MB. Always faster to resize if you're uploading more than a few pics.

What I'm seeing is 140 KB, did you resize to the maximum allowable pixels prior to upload or load a large file and let the site do the work?

I did not resize this picture on my end, so any re-sizing was done by the site when it was uploaded. It only took about 5-6 seconds to upload. My internet download speed is 30 Megs. I don't know off the top of my head what my upload speed is, but I think it is around 20 Megs. You can test your speed at several sites. I use SpeakEasy dot net, then select the server location that is closest to you (I use San Francisco).

There is an app for that, jk.

THere is a plug in. i think the site should have to resize pictures, i had to do it on the offishial site, it makes life so much easier for the end user. set the sizes and it does the rest...

I was born in the dark ages so it would stand to reason that my camera and computer are ancient. :biggrin:

Where do I buy a faster "ISP", what does it look like? Does Walmart carry ISP's?
