I'm sorry if it has been mentioned before, but there's one usefull thingy called IrfanView.
It's free to download, and it's awesome, since you can resize a whole bunch of pictures at once, at desired size.

Pros:
- you can resize a bunch of pictures at once
- it's FREE
- it will take you less time to upload pictures
- it's unbelieveably simple to work with

Cons:
I couldn't find any...

If anyone here wants to know how it works, I'll be glad to explain it.

Option No.2

Upload your pictures on Flickr. It's site hosted by Yahoo, and I'm pretty sure it's among the top 30
most visited websites. You can uplaod videos and pictures. Registration is free.

Now, why is it so much better than Imageshack, TinyPic, and other lame sites for uploading pictures?
It's very simple:
You can upload picture/video at any size, and Flickr will offer you different sizes of picture to post on forum.
(thumbnail, 640x480, 800x600 and some other sizes)

Once again, I'll be glad to explain how the whole thing works, if anyone is interested.

EDIT:
@irontwig: I beg to differ. Higher resoultion is very usefull when you're editing pictures in photo-editing
software. Since photo-editing software could be used to make the picture sharper, it's definately a good thing.

I almost never want to post different sizes. TinyPic etc are perfectly fine for most cases.

Yes, in the sense that you're talking about something different. He probably wasn't talking about editing but about what's posted here, and he's absolutely right about that.

Big images are automagically resized now.

Possible reason to unsticky, but loading times are still affected. Is this still an issue these days?
