Can we raise the image size dimensions on the site? I cant post any of the pics that i have as just a pic because they are larger than 800x800..... I dont have this issue on any other site.... Its not like the pics are so huge, as they are just 2.1MP.....

It is best practice to link to large offsite images otherwise slow connections are forced to download all the images without choice, for example my Galaxy SII which I am reading this with now. At the very least, use thumbnails linking to the originals.

Code:
[url=your large images url][img]your thumbnail url[/img][/url]


...or...

Code:
[url=your large images url]textual description[/url]

I Understand that, but i have no way of making thumbnails..... I take the pics, then upload them straight to photobucket from my phone...... I have an iphone 3g and havent ever had issues loading pics on any other site.... My phone IS my internet...... Exclusively.....

Photobucket does thumbnails also. I think you click Share and it gives you a variety of options for embedding. I did the very same thing for a photo tutorial I wrote on xda-developers.com:

Example:
Code:
 25. I refitted the battery, SIM and SD card and powered up. 1% battery remaining.

I've never had any trouble linking my Photobucket images into my posts here, and mine are huge files when I start out; straight off the camera which is set to superfine and the largest possible image !!

You use the .IMG code under the thumbnail on P/B, yes?? That's all I do and I'm a real Luddite!!

PB is pretty good like that. Previously I have had to create my own thumbnails when self-hosting, despite me bring able to use PHP scripts to dynamically create them. Not many boards like me doing that. :D

Hmmmm.... Maybe the iPhone app differs from the actual full-on website? That looks like the bit that I use, eh!?

Nope. Works fine. Put "th_" in front of the image filename and use that as your image thumbnail. For example:

Code:
[url=http://i662.photobucket.com/albums/uu346/bogieboy01/60d021a5.jpg][img]http://i662.photobucket.com/albums/uu346/bogieboy01/th_60d021a5.jpg[/img][/url]
