try it again, it should only take a minute, it only takes a couple of seconds with adsl

Jimmys57,

you might find that its the size of the pics you're trying to post....it can take a while on dial-up for a large file (say 2 or 3 Mb) ....and then photobucket has to resize the pic to store it as it has a limit (64K I think)...so that takes a while too (but not two hours!)

If you want to try it again, reduce your pics to about 60K in a photo editor and try again....should take no more than a couple of minutes on dial-up

cheers....Brad

Photobucket has a 250k limit per pic.
If it is bigger than this, photobucket will down size it.
Do as the others say, and resize before uploading. It will be much quicker. I just uploaded some pics, and an individual pic on dial up took about 30 seconds.....geeeees.
Regards
Alex
