Hey there. I was just using dial up until last week so I do understand. First shrink the picture down in what ever program you have to do that. I found that something like 800x600 will load in a fair amount of time. Save it to where you'll remember. Now when you want to attach it to a posting, hit the little paperclip icon on the top of the page. Now you can browse your files an attach it that way. I never tried photobucket myself because when you are on dial up and find something that works, you stick with it. Good luck.
