Warren,
See the picture in my post. It shows just below the status bar how much space I have used, How much I am allowed and how much is left. However I am not sure it is completely correct as a couple of the numbers don't work out. The red on my status bar represents the space used and the green is what I have left. I tried your way and got the same results as shown in the picture. Since yo are so far above the limit, yours may not display that status bar and the information. I downsized that picture, so it makes it hard to read the limits under the status bar, but I also put it on Photo Bucket as I do most of the pictures that I include in posts.
Edit: To other good places to use are Flicker as you mentioned and Fotki which Steve told us about. Both have free areas but are limited to so much, however Flicker said their limit is so much per month and then at midnight on the last day of the month your limit is reset to the full amount. Fotki seems to have unlimited space in their paid for area and the price is very reasonable for anyone who posts huge amounts of pictures. Also from what I read they let you post huge pictures.
Ron
