problem is he is uploading high res images and his on a slow connection so he would have to wait for ages for them to upload.
http://upload.thinfile.com/image/ seems to do the job it changes the size then uploads.
im not sure of the quality of the images once resized .. my plan was gona be to upload the image using thinfile and get it to resize the image by abput 1/2 then use php to do a better quality resize. should still cut down on upload times.
