Post subject:  Photo Hosting question

I wanted to know what hosting site everyone here uses, as I use Photobucket, but sometimes (alot of the time...) My banners and avvies, and everything else turn slightly fuzzy and pixilated once I've uploaded them, then post them somwhere else. :confused:

Well, I use Photobucket 95% of the time and it never does that to my images :confused: The other 5% of the time I use imageshack.us, but I don't like that as much because there is no way to remember the URLs unless you write them down :disgust:

I use Photobucket and ImageCave. Though I hardly use Imagecave anymore except now and then. I only switched because back then, I couldn't upload large files onto Photobucket, though I can do so now. Also I've heard some people use TinyPic. I've only used it once. It can upload large files but you can't remember the URL unless you write it down or upload it again.

If your pictures turn out blurry when you upload, I'm pretty sure it's not because of the photo-hosting provider. I can see if the picture had to be resized, it gets blurry like it does in Photobucket, but other times, it's not.

If you're making your graphics, and you save as .jpg --- make sure it's sharper than usual in Photoshop or GIMP or whatever program you use because it will generally turn out blurry when you upload. I personally use .png which is as sharp as a knife in Photoshop and uploaded.

I don't like png because it needs 10 hours to show >< and Photobucket became stupid very recently, everything is now 1024x768 but I use that nonetheless.
So jpg & Photobucket, imageshack for bigger res.
