And close the spaces.

If you want to upload a picture you have on your hard drive, you have to upload it to an image hosting website like imageshack.
"All great works are prepared in the desert, including the redemption of the world. The precursors, the followers, the Master Himself, all obeyed or have to obey one and the same law. Prophets, apostles, preachers, martyrs, pioneers of knowledge, inspired artists in every art, ordinary men and the Man-God, all pay tribute to loneliness, to the life of silence, to the night." - A. G. Sertillanges

Photobucket does indeed suck. 75% of the time, it won't upload my images properly. And Imageshack is just obnoxious.

If somebody has the time, please type up a nice detailed and simple description of how someone would do this so I can add it to the FAQ section, thanks.

I always chuckle when I read people's comments about how photobucket sucks, because I have never had one problem with them whatsoever.
Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

they always change the resolution of my pictures. Like when I take a screenshot of my desktop it always makes it 3x smaller. It's just annoying.

It's just that they remove or delete pictures way to often. I see that placeholder image photobucket uses for things they've deleted all the time but have never seen one for imgur.

Tell that to the photo I just tried to upload that froze in the uploading process.
