If you want to post a pic, it's preferred you save it to your desktop and then upload it to a photo-hosting site of your choice (photobucket, flickr, tinypic, etc...).

That's what happens when I try to eat lunch and type at the same time. You beat me to it!
I don't know how many times I got those "bandwidth exceeded" images on my MySpace and LiveJournal. Turns out the collegians were posting my event pics on THEIR own MySpaces from my web hosting service even though I was the one footing the bill for the online space.

They got a lecture from me after that.
