Kristen,
Don't go and get all mushy on us now. we have the Ho Sisters for that. When I joined there were stricter limits than now and then remember we had the major server crash. It is not an easy job to dig everything out and get all new software back online and not miss a couple of things that don't affect service. I have always downsized my picture, but not as much as maybe I should have because I knew that on the Internet you don't need Mb size pictures. However after the crash and Brent forget to close the gate, everyone posted every picture they took and no one bothered to read what Ron(CW) posted or even tried downsizing. Not you, but a couple of the biggest whiners seem to have the idea that because they have cameras that take 5 MG pictures, they should be able to buy all the space they want and while it is crawling along loading those huge worthless for the web pictures everyone else can just go somewhere else. The ones that know you understand that you really didn't know about this and Jamo acknowledged that in his post that you at least apologized to Ron. Besides you donate to the cub and just as when it was down during the crash the biggest complainers were the ones who hadn't donated a penny. Well they can buy space on Snapfish, Fotki, Photo shop, and several others. I am in the process of putting some of my pictures in Albums here on CC and am downsizing them even farther except for one or two, and I don't have copies of them as they were taken by other people and sent to me. And as Ron(CW) said, the gallery is just an addition to the site, this is not a picture hosting site. If you have problems e-mail or call me and we will get them taken care of. Just take a drink, in your case maybe a huge one, and relax.
Ron
