samwe happened to me …just email them saying you want to keep your account and that you will be a good boy from now on….worked for me. It really isnt a big deal.

i post from fotopic all the time

You could upload lower quality photo’s, for you to exceed 500mb in bandwidth I’m assuming the file sizes must be quite large…much larger than needed for an online photo album unless you intend on ordering prints through their shop. Or someone else has linked to one of your pics.

I used to post loads of pictures on here with a free fotopic account, but back then I uploaded images 1024*768 which makes them less than a meg each. I pay a subscription now, so I upload full size images.

There is a good powertoy for Windows called ‘image resizer’, you can resize a whole folder of pics (as duplicates so keeping the originals) in a couple of mouse clicks before uploading them 🙂

my pics go at about 150-200 kb! it was the best pic of 2008 thread that blew it.
