i have been using photobucket to post single pictures of weapons, and it has been working fine. the problem now comes when i put many images into a single one. whenever i try to upload to photobucket, it comes out as being tiny, to small to read. i have tried resizing the image(both larger and smaller), with the same results.

i use microsoft picture it 7 for my screen shots

Images larger than 250kb are resized.
I have no probs with mspaint in jpeg format.

As Tactical-Dillusions said, all files larger than a certain size will be reduced to fit that size.

In order to fix this, save your screenshots as compressed JPGs, or PNGs (I've recently learned that PNG is the way to go for clarity and maximum size efficiency). When you upload them, they will not resize and you will be able to use the full size at your leisure

they save as png, and are resized as 12k. or maybe my picture program just cant correctly size them.

already tried imageshack, the picture wouldnt even load.

Another option (if you dont wanna use a site like imageshack) is to upload the pic to your webspace (most ISP's give you free webspace).

Get 2 things from your ISP (or maybe their homepage help link)
-The FTP address (my example www.wideopenwest.com/)
-The webspace address (my example www.wideopenwest.com/~username/)

In IE type "ftp://username:[email protected]".

Then just drag 'n drop the image file there.

The address of the picture is then:

http://www.wideopenwest.com/~username/picture.jpg
