When adding a picture from my computer do I just browse and upload? and for those of you who use this, how long does it take you on highspeed internet? I'v been 'Uploading' the same picture for 20 minutes.

Yeah, but it shouldn't take that long.

I'll reboot my router that may be the problem, I can barely get these pages to load now.

yup it was my modem.

it also depends on the size of your photos and your connection. larger photos take a lot longer than smaller one like 600x450-800-600 sizes. if all you are doing is hosting your pics to post online, then i'd resize them to about that so you can easily post them. plus, upload speed will be pretty quick on high speed broadband.

I certainly hope you're not just pulling crap straight off the camera and uploadng it. If so, don't do that! I don't care if you've got a T1 in your house, you still need to crop and resize those things. If the files you are trying to upload are over a couple hundred kb a piece, then you should consider taking them into an image manipulation app and resize, then save back as a jpg with a lower quality setting to make the file size lower. If the file is not ungodly huge, try to cancel and restart the transfer. Are you a premimum member of Photobucket? If you are, use the ftp upload instead of the browser-based one.
