 I have a feeling all my images on Flicker are already cropped to 1024 max side, because, at the time iirc, you had to pay on Flicker if you had more than a certain level of data, (Gb) stored, so I opted to post smaller images. Also I tried to post smaller images at a time when 1024 was quite large for a screen.

The other bonus with storing the images off the forum is you can post more than one image per post which I thought from day one of this forum software was a poor choice, I vaguely remember Steve was going to fix that, it never happened after he took huff about something, I never did know what.

With Lightroom you can simply drag an image to a folder and hit 'publish' and that will place the image directly in your account. Posting it FROM Flicker into a forum is a bit more complex, involving going through about four layers of pages to get to the posting code, but it's not that hard once you get the hang of it.

I am going to have to prune some of my images because I am closing in on the 1,000 limit, I can't justify paying to host. I could get a website hosted for what Flicker are asking for 1,000 images. Methinks they are being greedy, there should have been a stepped rate for smaller users, OK, start at 1,000 but than another step at say 5,000 images for a bit more £. I think they are asking way too much.
