Depends on the size of the pic file you're uploading. Set your camera
to it's lowest resolution for pictures you're going to upload (e.g.
e-mail setting) and it's much quicker. Also quicker for the viewer to
download.


Oh certainly but sometimes with plants, quite a good bit of detail is
required and the quicker uploads don't always give that. Nonetheless, it's
a terrifically useful site.

I reduce the picture dimensions via software because I always forget to
do it on the camera, but which of the 4 tinypic codes you paste into
your message isn't clear. In my case it should have been

rather than

http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=4zc34zt&s=1

I think...

It's certainly a useful facility for this type of newsgroup

I've tried playing around with photos using the software on the Mac and last
time I did that they all disappeared 'somewhere' and the whole system just
kept crashing. I only just found them a few days ago. But I'm getting a
new Mac soon and am getting a techie to install stuff for me from here to
the new one in the hope all will go smoothly. At the same time, I'll ask
him about this playing around with photo software. He's actually going to
run a few classes for Mac users so perhaps that could be one of the issues,
if he's willing to use it.
