Photobucket storage hassles

Hi,
I have been trying to put some photos on the forum of my larger diameter Stiffolder sausages.
Every time I connect to Photobucket it won't work and I get a message that my storage is
99.99% full. I have used up 2 GB.
Unbelievable as I only have 3 photos on there.
Are they having me by the jollies or what? Are they trying to screw us "down-under"poor bastards for money.
Don't they know that we are a poor third world country and nearly banana republic.
Anyway, I just can't see how 3 photos take up 2 GB.
How do other members get treated by Photobucket. I can't even contact them!
Cheers,
Jan.

Jan, That seems unusual to me. I have several hundred pictures in photobucket and no overload notices yet.

I've had a Photobucket account for nearly 10 years and I've never had a serious problem.
Fire off an email to them, I'm sure the problem can be corrected.

Maybe your photos are at too high a resolution. The ones I take with my cell phone are pretty cheesy looking compared with most, but they aren't very big. I get beautiful, detailed photos of grandchildren by email, though, and they run 2 to 4 meg.

Thanks for all the replies Guys. I have sent an email to Photobucket to see if I can clear things up.
I talked to Snagman about it and he has 100's of photos on "the bucket" without any hassles and I only tried to upload some photos from Picasa 3.
Why I am being singled out is a mystery, they only want money from this poor old Ozzie.
Cheers,
Jan.
