I bet. Something like:

George - I can't stand that *censored* Indy.
Dan - I know. What a fracking idiot. He thinks we like him.
chas - He's a nice guy.
George - What? Are you serious?
chas - He's okay.
Josh - ::facepalm::
Dan - You're stupid Charlie.
chas - I know you are but what am I?
George - A ****** if you like Jeff.
Dan - We just need to ignore him from now on.
Josh - I've been thinking of adding him to my foe list.
George - That's what I need to do.
Dan - Yep.
chas - I still think he's alright.
George, Dan, Josh - Shut up Charlie. Go poop in someone's pool.
chas - Okay. See you guys later. ::signs off::

George - chas is a freaking ******.
Dan - I know.
Josh - He's alright.
George - What?

Yadda, yadda, yadda.

I'd say this is exactly how it happens, but I can't read it because we all have you foe'd.

Never knew you could check all that info on photobucket. Just checked my "stats" and most of my pics
have been viewed 700-800 times. My Dawson HOF avatar has been viewed 28,514 times. :o

More than I thought actually. And my previous avatar was viewed 54,926 times. Crazy!

That because is viewed here. People aren't clicking on it. Anytime some reads a post you have made photobucket counts that as a view.

Andrew - Either you have a TON of pics, or your files sizes are too big.

I have 745 files and am using 13% storage and 9% bandwidth.

Craziest number to me is that I've had 449,226 file views.

That makes sense. Explains the above number as well.

How do I make the files smaller? Can I do it with one easy step, or is this one of those things where it just becomes a massive PITA?

:o George is cracking his case?!? :D I hope, I hope, I hope.

Got an appointment to donate blood tonight. Well, specifically platelets. Guess I'm a platelet farm so that'll take up 2 hours. But it's for a good cause so :D Anyone else donate platelets before?
I've never done platelets, just whole. I want to get into donating plasma. Doesn't take as long, and I can start going weekly.

Had a rough night last night, guys. As always, more questions than answers. Life sucks sometimes.

Did pickup Zoimbieland on BD yesterday, plan on watching it today sometime.

The latter, unfortunately.

For all regular size cards, I resize before I upload. As has been said before, I am very anal retentive about my scans.
I make all vertically oriented cards 400 pixels in height, and all horizontal cards 400 pixels in width.

Chas, here are two pics from my bucket.

The top one is 392X559 (my usual file size)

0downingbrian.jpg


Second one is 224X320 (new attempt)
0downingbrian-1.jpg


Is the second pic too small for posting, or is this about the size of your files, give or take?

If I change all my card pics to about this size, will it save a lot of space on photobucket?

Also, if the pic is already on Photobucket and I resize it there, does it give me more space, or does it not affect the amount available?

From now on, I should resize my scans on computer before putting on the bucket, correct?

I use their default setting for regular sized cards. 200x320 or something like.

My second scan is the default "medium" sized file. That what you use?

For me, it's much easier to resize before upload. If you resize on PB, it should use less space.

95% of my scans are like this one, which is 400 x 282. Actually just reminded myself that I need to re-scan this card.

How many total files do you have?

If I'm only at 13% with 700+ files, resizing should bring your storage down dramatically Andrew.

Thanks for all the info! Will resize the ones I have in photobucket and then, in the future, will resize before uploading. :oops:
