Raine, because of photobucket updating, apparently what I've seen the resizing option that I've provided does not want to work anymore... Which I'm talking to their support team about this issue and hopefully getting it fixed.
For now please use PicsArt to resize your photos and then uploaded them to pgotobucket.
It's a process for all of us sadly, I've struggled myself with photobucket and the new way so I understand how frustrating it gets when the pictures turn up big.
I'm updating this again sometime today with another way thanks to beetleVomit and hopefully putting pics art as the first option to help out.
