Looks like you have to log in to use that service, I just want to down load a picture and get a Img code, not store it for later etc,

I use photobucket and it is worth setting up an account (Free) hosted online and easily linked - also saves forum storage!

But these are apparently what you are looking for:

http://www.picresize.com/

http://www.resizeyourimage.com/

http://resizepic.com/

http://www.resizr.com/

http://www.resize2mail.com/ - I have used this in the past and it works well

Chaps,

My usual site returned to operation so I did not follow up your recommendations. However having just tried to use it again, it is crashing during the process so tried some of your recommendations.

Am I missing the obvious somewhere, all the sites that I looked at offer to resize your pictures not reformat them with that code you need to add them to the forum. I can resize pictures my self that is no problem - it is the turning them into a code bit that I need a site for.

Is it me or are these sites offering to do that and I cant see it,

DM
