A wee question. Something I have noticed when using photobucket to host the pictures the quality of the picture on here is reduced greatly.
For instance my lastest screen shot, On my PC it is crisp and clear, also looks OK on Photobucket, but looks awfull on here. Is there a secret to stoping this from happening?

I have now had a play with the way the image is uploaded to Photobucket and have got better results. Have edited my original entry biggrin.gif

Hi Lowglow, can you share what options you use in photobucket to get better quality uploads?

Hi AndrewJames
I just read the topic at the top of the screenshot forum Uploading image guide and changed to the recommended image size 1024x768. I also tried using the Best possible quality (while staying 1mb or less) option, this gave better results but the image on here was too large in size. I also think that it would help if the original image was sized to 1024 x 768 on you own PC before uploading to Photobucket.
Previously I was leaving Photo bucket to choose the size of image it uploaded and the resized it on photobucket useing the photo editing feature. This did not give very good result.
Hope this helps, it worked for me biggrin.gif

Ian you are quite correct, Ansett did operate a 146-200 QC, it was the factory demonstrator, i remember seeing it here in Dunedin when it was on tour just after Ansett purchased it, it still had the QC logo's on the tail
