    It's been so long since I've had dial-up that I'd forgotten the amount of time it takes to load a picture. I noticed that Photobucket allows you to reduce the number of pixels for posting online (and even further reduction for an Avatar).

    Would it be a courtesy for those of us without broadband to "lighten the load" for others by not posting full-pixel photos?

    Yes it would, as well as reducing image size to something in the 640 X 480 range, so as to not 'break' the forum stylesheets.
